Paton's Rock

This kind lady let me take her picture while she contemplated the view. A local, and a regular visitor to this bench.

Farewell Spit

Farewell Spit stretches more than 30 kilometres into the Tasman Sea. The Maori name for the spit is Onetahua, meaning 'heaped up sand'. A bird sanctuary since the 1930s it provides a home for over 90 bird species. Bar tailed godwits, knots, curlews, whimbrels and turnstones fly around 12,000 kilometres every northern hemisphere autumn to spend the summer here in the south. The spit also has a gannet colony. Farewell Spit's first lighthouse was built in 1869.

Riwaka Crystal Pool

Seen on the walk to the Resurgence. Purest, cleanest, clearest water we've ever see.

Riwaka Resurgence

A short walk from the picnic area/car park took us up to the stunning crystal pool and the source of the Riwaka River. It is steep at first but soon levels off and is worth the climb. DOC area, no dogs allowed on the walk. Purest, cleanest, clearest water we've ever see.
