Bach - Owhiro Bay to Sinclair Head, South Coast Wellington New Zealand
I visited this beautiful coastal walk in May (early winter in New Zealand). The scenery is dramatic rocky coast featuring the famous volcanic red rocks, historic baches (simple recreational cottages) and a haul-out colony of male fur seals.
In 2002 the New Zealand Historic Place Trust registered four baches (simple beach houses) at Red Rocks as historic areas. The baches, built in the early 1900s, have been kept in original form by their proud owners.
Along the way I enjoyed the company of many birds including the very rare (in NZ) reef heron and the delightful pipit, a constant travelling companion, along with gulls, oyster catchers, shags (cormorants) and other breeds of heron.
