Wharaiki Beach in Newzealand




From the car park at the end of Wharariki road, it is a 20 minute walk over rolling farm-land to Wharariki Beach, with its amazing sand dunes, caves and off-shore islands. At low tide you can walk along the beach to the ‘Stone Bridge’. Alternatively, you can start from the car park, and walk Southwest along the farm track. At the signpost for the “Stone Bridge” turn right and head down to the beach. This is where you need low tide in your favour as you can’t cross this section of the beach unless the water is out.

The Devil's punchbowl Falls in NewZealand


Situated in the centre of the South Island, along the pass between Canterbury and the West Coast, Arthur’s Pass National Park is the third oldest national park in New Zealand. The main road between Christchurch and Greymouth (SH73) travels straight through the centre of the park. One of the world’s great train journeys – the TranzAlpine Express – also passes through the park, offering dramatic views of the mountains and plains.  The top of this spectacular fall (131 metres) can be seen from the main road, but a walk to the base of the waterfall is well worth doing in any weather, any time of the year.
