Te Waewae Bay, near Orepuki
Amusing toilet. (not so amusing from the inside)
Freedom camping at Cosy Nook. Had a chat with a local who offered some fishing lessons - will have to return here! Aparently the water has healing properties so another icy dip was in order!
Polyfilla villa, Cosy Nook.
Sunrise from our sleeping quarters.
Petrified forest from Jurassic period 160 million years ago at Curio Bay.
Yellow eyed penguin at Curio Bay. When malting they are not waterproof and must stay on shore for several weeks, unable to fish for food. This timid creature just popped out for a drink and we were quite lucky to be able to watch for a few minutes.
Plenty of sheep in NZ!
Rugged coastline reminded me of Cardigan Bay
View from Nugget Point lighthouse, built in 1869.
Spotted a few sealions here on the rocks beneath.
Nugget Point.
Otago Peninsula near Dunedin at low tide and sunset.
A young albatross practicing its gliding. Most live at sea at this time of year and return to feed the young. This is the only mainland albatross breeding colony in the world according to the NZ albatross centre. It has been a long time coming but finally I have spotted an albatross. With a wingspan of up to 3 metres they are quite awe inspiring to watch.
