We originally intended to spend 2 days, starting at the outer end (think captain Cook) but that end is just bog, and the forecast tomorrow is poor. So we decided to do the inner end, which is native bush, and spend tomorrow round the wineries.
We set off into tree ferns and podocarp forest, listening to bellbirds and GUI. Below us, turquoise bays of white sand glistened in the sunshine. The path, easy, wound its way up go a commanding viewpoint, where we abandoned it.
Native NZ bush is just a fantastic privilege to walk through. There isn't too much of it left. It's other-wordly.
The pic is the lunch stop.
