 Hawke's Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hawke's Bay is a region of New Zealand.
The Hawke's Bay region includes the hilly coastal land around the northern and central bay, the floodplains of the Wairoa River in the north, the wide fertile Heretaunga Plains around Hastings in the south, and a hilly interior stretching up into the Kaweka and Ruahine Ranges.
The region bears the former name of what is now Hawke Bay, a large semi-circular bay which extends for 100 kilometres from northeast to southwest from Mahia Peninsula to Cape Kidnappers.

 Hawkes Bay Petanque
The French game of Petanque flourishes in the Hawkes Bay region, perhaps because of the game's close association with wine, one of the main attractions and products of the Hawkes Bay, and, of course, the fact that the game originated in France, a major wine drinking country.
On a smaller scale Petanque Hawkes Bay has been formed to coordinate all Petanque club activities in the Hawkes Bay.
On this site we will provide as much information as possible on the game, how the game is organised in the region, details of the clubs with contacts and playing times, and a list of wineries that we know have pistes for the benefit of their customers.
