This stunning beach, protected by ancient Pohutukawas is a
welcoming sight which draws you down the long hot walk from the
hills behind. Unfortunately, when Helen and I tried to visit the
beach we were stopped by the farmer who owns the land around it.
An ongoing dispute with locals and council had made him deny all
public access to the beaches lining his property. This was one
of Helen's favorite beaches when she was a child and it was shocking
to be denied the liberty of visiting it. I hope New Zealand's
shoreline will be the treasured inheritance of endless generations
of people who love this country. |
