The Studio at Purakaunui

This is the studio at Jon and Kristina's property in Purakaunui TOm and I moved to for a little while.

There is a beautiful rainforest creek next to us with old Rimu, Totara, Fuschia, Horopito...

Local sand flats

The inlet is tidal and has nice track beside it that winds around to the open ocean past little bays
