Kaka Point, Kaiteriteri

At the northwest end of Kaiteriteri Beach, Kaka Point rises above the town, looking out over Kaka Island and towards the hills on the eastern side of Tasman Bay. Archaeologists have found evidence suggesting that Kaka Point was used as a kainga, or undefended pā. Today, there’s a reserve on the site that includes this sign pointing out distances to places near and far. This photo was taken on a warm Saturday late in July, when the sky was clear and blue, giving a hint of spring before winter’s last desperate gasp.
