South Again – Day 16
At break of day (ok 11am) we headed to Pukekura (red hill) to the Royal Albatross Centre.

The guided tour was well worth the money – which also helps fund the centre.
There were four chicks in residence. While we watched a male parent landed and fed one of the chicks.
I first took the alleged 500m walk to the viewpoint (couldn’t see much for the flax) and then decided 4K down to the beach and back was too much.
