Wharariki Beach

Windbent Pohutukawas in Wharariki

At the beginning of March, I spent some time in Golden Bay – a region of almost indescribable beauty. In the northeast of the bay lie Farewell Spit, Puponga, and Wharariki.

In Wharariki, the wind blows almost constantly from the same direction. The bent pohutukawa trees along the Puponga Hills Track tell the story in their own unique way.
