About this word search

The bach, or crib in the far south, is a Kiwi institution. A boat ramp at the end of the road, an outboard that needs three pulls to start and a gas bottle for the barbecue are part of every summer, and the visitors book records years of families, weather and fish that got away. Pōhutukawa flowering over the beach mean Christmas is near.

This grid is eighteen by eighteen and words run in all eight directions, backwards included. Outdoor shower is the longest with thirteen letters. Visitors book and mosquito coil have twelve each. Bach, crib, deck and lake are only four. Games turns up in card games and board games, and board in outboard and board games, so check the whole word. Pōhutukawa is written without the macron.

Use it on a rainy bach day with the whole family. The person who finishes last does the dishes.
