Bubbly (Onamalutu)
This is a lovely schpot for a picnichichic, so grrrab a bwaddle of blubbly
and shum breadge, cheezz, fruitsch, and a phrizzchbee and head orrff to the
Ona-ona-ona-malutututu Reserve. From Renwick, head up root sex (bwahhahahahahhh
- sex!) and turn left - or is it right? - no its left onto Norfbunk Road then
right up Onaonaonamalooootoooo Road. Stagger across the little bridge into the
reserve. Think I need a bit of a lie down now... the grass is so soft and
inviting... I wish the world would stop spinning... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Ah now that feels better! Take the left trail head into the Kahikatea grove.
When you get to the river, follow the trail right until you get to a fork. At this fork you'll see a
particularly dense grove of huge, old, virgin Kahikatea trees. Take the left
trail. From the very last huge kahikatea in the group on your right, take 45
steps down the trail. On the left you should see another big kahikatea about 3
steps off trail. The bottle of bubbly is hiding in a nook just behind this tree.
(Just ahead of you, there is a black birch extending into the trail - if you've
passed this tree, you've gone too far). Continue on the trail to get back to the
camping ground, or return the way you came - going either way at the fork.

Bonus - Recipes for Champagne Cocktails
- Elderflower Aperitif: Pour a good schlurp of elderflower cordial into a
champagne flute, then fill with a nice dry bubbly.
- Champagne Cocktail: Place a sugar cube at the base of a champagne flute
and drip some Angostura Bitters onto it. Top up with a little brandy, then
fill with bubbly.
- Mimosa: pour 1 part of chilled orange juice into a champagne flute. Fill
with 3 parts bubbly. If you want to get fancy, first dip the rim of the glass
into some Cointreau or Grand Marnier liqueur and then into a saucer of sugar.
Carefully pour the orange and bubbly into the glass. Kick it up a further
notch by also pouring in a dash of liqueur.
