It's always a delight seeing our lovely plants in flower. The Pohutukawas are just starting to flower, kowhai have now finished, and we found many little taurepo flowering this month. This is the only gloxinia found in New Zealand and is plentiful in the Matheson Bay bush area.
Leigh Harbour is a pretty little harbour with a wharf, boat ramp, fishing and leisure boats at anchor. A delightful walk is around the harbour past the Jolly Fisherman's Lodge, through some native bush to a beach. There is a chance to also see dolphins or orca in the harbour or a gannet diving in for a feed.
