786530 2009-06-28 10:02:00 I am in Wellington, you almost missed the island thou as I googled cos I didn't know where Ruakaka was, 30km south of Whangarei .. more north and it be in the ocean :D Nomad (952)
786531 2009-06-28 11:10:00 Its possible to find the region/city/country, but not the exact address.

Depends on the ISP too, not always accurate.

Not sure what Jen used, but try these one:

However, the water all around here is not salty enough to match the location. All the paths have been washed, bird baths topped up,garden well watered, gutters flushed, and the car is again getting rinsed
