Tautuku Boardwalk and Estuary
A very pleasant spot to stop and take a stroll. They say that the golden hours are best for here, but in reality, any calm day and this place is great. After a short walk through some forest, you break through the jungle layer and are met with an expanse of vibrantly colored rush and a lovely little boardwalk that takes you over the estuary to the Tautuku river. They say if your keen for it, this is a great place to kayak on, and I plan to do just that. Oh and if your eye's are keen for it, many many fernbirds are hiding somewhere in these grasses.
