Pacific Ocean meets the Tasman Sea

The most Northern point of New Zealand, Cape Reinga. It is where you can see the meeting of two oceans, the Pacific Ocean, and the Tasman Sea. 

See Google Maps here https://goo.gl/maps/jaymrCEE2Nt and see a few photos here https://photos.app.goo.gl/DrHQcbMsZurejHcUA

My photo shows the meeting of two oceans, clearly seen by the different color tones.

Re: Pacific Ocean meets the Tasman Sea

I was waiting for a post from your beautiful Nation @TheEagleEye

 

Which kind of animals are populating this area? Can you spot kiwi and Tasmanian's devils?

Re: Pacific Ocean meets the Tasman Sea

Hi @Sorbe, there maybe Kiwis there but very difficult to see. Kiwis are nocturnal so out at night and even then are difficult to see. They can be heard though http://www.backyardkiwi.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Male1.mp3

Also mice maybe found but not abundant. No Tasmanian Devils as they are Australian.

You can be safe in New Zealand as there aren't any dangerous animals or anything poisonous to kill you. We don't have snacks.

Hi @TheEagleEye,

 

That sea is looking quite tempting! I can't wait for summer to dip into the sea. How beautiful is New Zealand!

Re: Pacific Ocean meets the Tasman Sea

Thank you for all these precious information @TheEagleEye.

 

I would never imagined that kiwi could be so noisy. About dangerous animals or reptiles, this is another reason why I'd rather visit New Zealand than Australia. Furthermore I have to confess that I have a soft spot for All Blacks.
