Stewart Island

This is Stewart Island: Wherefore should one not neglect New Zealand's third island?

Somewhat moves between the tightly clustered coronal ferns of Stewart Island and a large, feathered back appears through the loop. However, Stewart Island is the only place where you can see kiwi in the sun. They are active at night in the few other bags of New Zealand in which they still exist. However, the Stewart Island sub-species has never felt the need to limit itself to post-dark maneuver.

There is no small hint of what makes Stewart Island so unique. The often overlooked third island of New Zealand is displaced from the lower end of the South Island, at the mercy of its screaming 1940s and whining wind. Trials of man to settle here have largely been unsuccessful. The Maori have been living on Stewart Island only occasionally, while Europe's whaling, seal hunting, farming and sawmilling sectors have seen their industry dying out quite quickly.

This even provides a wonderful morning choir in Oban, the lonely island town. However, for birdwatchers, the true paradise is Ulva Island, a 267 ha island that can be reached via a brief boat trip over the Paterson Inlet. Ridiculously kind Stewart Island robins were also a great benefit.

This curious little heartsmelters match the Stewart Island personality. But that is humanly as impetuous as the island. In Lee Bay, where the populated area of Stewart Island makes way for the National Park, an oversized yellow necklace is disappearing into the sands. The Stewart Island Experience also offers a 90 minutes introduction to the Village and Bays for NZ$45 (£23).
