A view from the McLachlan memorial at Puponga Point over Cornwallis Beach. With some imagination you can make out a teeny bit of the wharf through the trees in the foreground.
Below is the view in reverse: Cornwallis Beach, Wharf, and Puponga Point with the memorial.

The tide was going out when we visited Cornwallis on Sunday. Kingfishers (kÅtare, Halcyon sancta) find themselves a perch on a rock, scanning the beach for any movement. With great accuracy they dart forth to pick up crabs and similar delicacies.
