Whangarei Heads

Next morning we drove out to the Whangarei Heads, way north on the Pacific side, and walked around the assorted coves, Bream, Urquhart, ending with Smugglers' Cove.

The usual weird trees and their many parasites; every old
tree is a veritable garden of other plants

More weird birds and bird calls

An usual site: an oil refinery in NZ

And a big ship

And an extremely rare WWII gun emplacement

Stan the Steer directs us to the gun emplacement information

The rest of the scenery was the usual spectacular NZ...

Thus

And thus

And thus

And thus

A distant lone sea stack
