Cape Farewell

Cape Farewell, so named by Captain Cook, is a 35km sandy spit, home to thousands of migratory birds and the longest spit in the world.  It is also the most northerley point of New Zealand.  We visited Puponga overlooking the spit and Golden Bay for lunch, walked up to Wharariki Beach to Arch Islands (tide was too high to see the arches) and also walked through Puponga Farm Park to one of the many vantage points overlooking the cliffs along the Cape. The weather along the Cape was touch and go, windy and cold.

Bit worried my back pack was red, as we walked back to our car
