Catlins

Started through the Catlins on 08.04.2016.

Top  Whitebaiters cribs. The rest  The most southerly point of the South Island. Slope Point.

Catlins (10 of 20) Hard to see but there are fossilised tree trunks lying where a forrest used to be a long time ago at Curio Bay.

Cathedral Caves.

Btm right   Catherine shooing away the sandflies.

Owaka teapot garden.

On the walk to Jacks Bay blowhole. Just before the rain sent Oscar & Terry scooting back to the motorhome. Take a coat next time.

Jack’s Bay.

A beautiful bay with fine sand, strange rock formations, giant kelp, quaint cribs & sea lions sunbathing on the rocks. We just chilled out for three days.

  1. Wow, amazing journey and thank you for sharing in this way. So many different areas of your country which we would never have had the opportunity to see or hear about, a taste of what’s to come for us in October, but sadly we will only see the tip of the iceberg compared to your incredible journey. Love the motorbikes in the museum – our little island does have the ability to get everywhere!! Sandra xx

  2. Thank you Sandra.
    I think that you will see a great deal in the time you have here.
    There is certainly a lot of highlights in your itinerary.

  3. I wouldn’t mind staying in that little hut looks cute would be okay with bit of warmth, nice place to hide

  4. More fabulous photos!! I particularly like the ones of Cathedral Caves, very cool!! And how ironic that you should call me as I was looking at these =)

  5. Now you are getting closer try and stay at Punawea Motor Camp up the Catlins River on way to Catlins Lake.
    The Punawea camp was just a lovely stay for us and I’m sure it will be for you too. Magnificent sunset, tui in the early morning, cool furniture in the cook house from what I remember.
