7268 NM from New York

Earlier in October when I was still intimidated about going up the big mountain, I went up the small hill nearby.  This hill is called Mt Drury.  At the top is a table-looking structure with a large marker on it.  I learned I am 7,268 NM (Nautical Miles?) from New York.
The center mark says "Rotary International" and below it says "Mt Maunganui" (my location).  Off to the right, etched in the marker is New York.
Naturally like most public markers, this one has been defaced by grafitti.


I also took another walk around the Mount (Mt Maunganui).  If I'm not careful, I might get pretty healthy here ;-)
I started on the Pilot Bay side.  Here is another lovely shot of the Bay:



Going around the Mount, the sheep had come down to pasture.   How about these 'lawn mowers'?
