Butterfly Creek

Last weekend we revisited this old favourite. The two previous blogs are here and here. When we got to the picnic area there was a compulsory chocolate stop.
The bush is quite magnificent but I concentrated on the ferns and lichens underfoot. 

Here are a couple of shots of the track. You can see how dry it is. There has been very little precipitation since the heavy rain a couple of weeks ago.


This is a nikau blending into the background.
Our nearest neighbour was rising over the hills. Thought I would try a close-up!.
Lastly, this is looking south over the heads towards the other island. The nearest headland jutting out into the harbour entrance is where we walked a couple of weeks ago.
