Scott Point - obviously!
Today we decided to walk to Casnell Island (Maunganui in Maori)- there is a peninsula with a farm homestead on it, called Scott Point, and when the tide is low you can walk along the causeway to the island in the distance.
Of course, you have to time the tides and be quick!

There is even another island further on called 'Pudding Island' and it looks just like a Christmas pudding sitting in the ocean! The Homestead is actually for rent and this is the view from the front gate..

When we got to the island it was very sheltered and covered in bright red pohutukawa trees!

This is the island as seen from a distance, when we started our walk..
Casnell Island that we walked to!
The history was interesting - 1849 is REALLY old here!
The history of the place
It is similar to the old American Colonial buildings that we saw.

When we got back to the mainland, we found these signs that reminded us just how far from home we were!!
How far away from home are we??
