Hi everyone!
I'm so sorry there's been a lack of posts on as told by sheena lately; I've been busy looking for my first full time job and have been chasing something very important... But more on that in a later post! Maybe.
I'm all about chasing new adventures this year (you can read more about that here), so we decided to do something different this week and went to find the gannet colony at Muriwai!
I loooooooved this wall. The colours... Just wow.
There are activities to please everybody at Muriwai, from the keen fisherman to the avid surfer. I'm just a budding explorer interested in new adventures. Muriwai was the perfect start to my "hiking journey" and the walk up to the viewing platforms to see the gannet colony was short and sweet. I did it in jandals!
The sky was incredible this afternoon! Literally no filter needed.
The gannet colony can be seen at Muriwai from August to March. At the end of March, the gannets fly off to Australia, and the birds that survive fly back to Muriwai to secure their nests years later. I also found out that gannets are romantics, and remain loyal to their partners for about 20 years! The facts you learn from reading the information boards along the walk.
I didn't spend much time on the actual beach this visit, but I am definitely planning to come back! Black sand beaches are so pretty.
Have you been to Muriwai before?
Until next time!
