This is what the end of the earth feels like being allll the waaaayyy out here .
This lighthouse has a lot of history supporting the ships coming into the Manukau Harbour.
The light house has a station master who helps with the piloting of ships . What a job !! I think you'd have to be a special kind of person to live such a isolated lifestyle. You can see over to Whatipu and Huia it's such a hoot to think the harbour is not that far across.
There are a lot of photos in the lighthouse which you can walk up into with its very narrow staircase (mind your head ) .
A good hours drive from the township of Waiuku it makes for a great day with a detour to some of the beaches on the way back . read more
This place was amazing! The niece was obscured by the fog, but I think that just added to the beauty. It was a long trip out here, and totally worth it. The ride here was just as beautiful as the point. Loved it! read more
