Port Charles is a remote farming and holiday locality at the head of an inlet on the rugged north-east coast of the Coromandel, about 15 kilometres beyond Colville. Kauri logging shaped its settler history from the 1860s, and the little bay holds a curious footnote: from 1900 its post office ran a pigeongram service, sending notes by carrier pigeon until a telephone cable came ashore from Great Barrier Island in 1908. The road in was not finished until 1928, and the sense of being at the end of the world has never quite left it.
