Maori presence |
Miles of mostly-deserted sand beaches, gentle surf... |
Attempted pano |
On an ebbing tide |
Bivalves emerging |
Gazillions of them; but the whole area is closed for regeneration; no harvesting shellfish or other fish until 2020; by of the local tribe |
At Tikitiki we saw what is reputedly the largest of pohutukawas; but I swear this one is just as big, and therefore the Grandmother of Pohutukawas |
Standing for scale |
Too big to capture in a pano |
Boulders on the beach |
A dolmen? Yeah, right |
At low tide all these beaches have got to be a couple hundred yards of sand to the water |
Beyond the bay, more islands, stacks... |
More giant old trees |
Cancading... |
Unfriendly-looking marine specimen |
And our favorite Oyster Catchers |

Those trees are giants! Glad you stood for scale--I had no idea!
