CURIO BAY TO DUNEDIN

Tautuku Bay

A rare bit of sunshine settles on fern fronds, Purakaunui Falls.

The 10 minute walk through the bush to the Purakaunui Falls is a tourist attraction in its own right.

Purakanui Falls, absolutely awesome.

Tunnel Hill tunnel, 250 metres long and and all done by manpower alone between 1879 and 1896. Closed in 1971.

Tunnel entrance

Rocks/Islands? beyond Nugget Point.

Nugget Point Lighthouse

The massive size and the sheerness of the cliffs is impressive. The speck you can just see in the centre left is a reasonable size fishing boat.
