Punakaiki

Further north along the west coast from Hokitika, the landscape got even more wild and lovely.


We went as far north as the town of Punakaiki and visited the striking "pancake rocks" of Paparoa National Park...



...appreciated the abundance of New Zealand flax...


...and walked an hour upstream along side Pororari River, the landscape looking positively jungly in its lushness--but without the stifling heat and poisonous creatures of an actual jungle. In other words, New Zealand is PERFECT.
