About halfway up the sandy steps this was the view out over the carpark and the estuary. Lucky it was pretty quiet but come Summer this place will be packed with visitors.
This one I believe is dog friendly but there are quite a few that aren't due to some areas being kiwi breeding colonies or fairy tern egg nesting spots.
The way down was a bit more rocky than the way up I think due to alot of rain that we had then. Sadly about a week after I took these photos a group of people were seen on CCTV lighting fireworks on the hill which caught alight and caused a ton of damage. We had the local volunteer fire service there plus 8 other brigades from as far as Ruawai and Whangarei helping out. I'm not sure if they caught the culprits yet.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Hopefully the culprits get caught.
Looks a lovely walk with great views. I hadn't heard of the fire. Would have thought it would be in the "Advocate" unless I missed it.
Another beautiful place to walk. NZ seems to have so many of these places in the bush or at the beach and even in town. Lots of incentive to put on your walking shoes!!
That view is pretty spectacular. Too bad about the fire. Some people are so careless.
That looks like a nice place to walk. It's too bad there are jerks around to ruin a good experience, hopefully they will be caught and charged.
That's a beautiful view and looks like a great hike. Cool idea to use old tires as steps along the trail!
Wonderful place to walk with great views
Nice walk but you always get some stupid idiots who hav eto spoil things
Beautiful scenes.
The scenery is lovely!
It is quite beyond my comprehension that people whether wittingly or unwittingly set off fireworks or light fires in areas such as that. The damage to the ecosystem can be incalculable.
Oh I really hope that the culprits were caught Amy.. such a beautiful space destroyed by idiots 😱
