Winter on Kawau

Winter on the island is a very special time with fewer people around, more bird life evident and, some truly stunning, still sunny days.
At night, the smell of wood fire smoke drifts around the coves and, for some reason, the skys seem even clearer than normal.
At other times like today, the rain pours down, filling the water tanks and raising the water table to keep the bush flourishing. A great day to catch up on office work, read some good books and enjoy the warmth of the fire.
