Farewell Split, New Zealand

Farewell Spit is a protected headland consisting mainly of sand which is a bird reserve of national important although we didn't actually get round to doing a tour to it just sat observing through a pint glass.

Unfortunately the only birds we saw from our vantage point were bizarrely thousands of black swans floating on the ocean in front of us quite close to the shore - nobody could explain why?

Anyway very interesting part of the coast where we spent a very pleasurable afternoon mooching around as one does on holiday!

Basic Information Centre and cafe at the spit

Cafe serving not a lot but with good views

Farewell Spit is very long indeed

A bit of it
