It took us ages to reach the Catlins today. We mistakenly put the wrong spelling in for destination and ended up miles too far north before we realised oops! We had a coffee break then headed to Catlins to arrive at lunch time!

Our first stop was a walk through a rainforest to see the tallest waterfall in the Catlins McClean Falls. It was flowing quite full today and we got some good pictures.

Next we travelled past a spouting cave near Purakaunui Bay. The bay was an almost perfect crescent shape. We took the images from a view point on the southern scenic highway.

Our last stop today was to see a petrified forest at Curio Bay. People also go there to see yellow eyed penguins, but none to be seen when we were there. You can make out the tree stumps and long tree trunks. The seaweed was also fascinating to watch swirling in the waves. By this time it was so hot and sunny such a contrast from the morning when we were cold and in coats.

Again we have done some nice walks to find nature’s beauty and also seen lots of seabirds and wild life.

Missing you all hope you like my photos
