Lake Wainamu at Te Henga/Bethell's Beach



IMG_1155



An amazing place - deep black ironsand dunes behind Te Henga/Bethell's Beach enclose a fresh water lake (in the distance) and this river which carries the lake run-off to the sea - intense greens in the bush, purple-blues in the water, and subtle shades of charcoal grey.

Below - patterns in the sand crust. There was also an area of sand with scattered pieces of stone which looked like prehistoric  tools  - does anyone know about the human history of this area?
