Description
When we told people in New Zealand that we were heading to Great Barrier Island, every last person told us that we were going to love it! Needless to say, we couldn’t wait to go! After 3 hrs sleep, an early morning flight from Auckland, a trip to the grocery store to stock up for our stay, and then….a dead car battery which left us ‘stuck’ in a beautiful little corner of the island, we were ready to explore the next day. This overlook is a view of eastern shore of the island which faces the Pacific Ocean and the village and beach of Medlands. I liked to think that we were in the “South Pacific”, with all the connotations of a tropical paradise. Great Barrier Island is the largest and most seaward of the Hauraki Gulf islands in Auckland region. With an area of 285 square kilometres (110 sq mi) it is the sixth-largest island of New Zealand and fourth-largest in the main chain. Its highest point, Mount Hobson, is 627 metres (2,057 ft) above sea level. The majority of the island (around 60% of the total area) is administered as a nature reserve by the Department of Conservation making it ideal for hiking, swimming, or just relaxing.
