ABOUT ME
Welcome to my page!
I am very privileged to live in this part of the world, where you get to see the most beautiful starry nights, with the added bonus of being able to view the Aurora Australis.
Rakiura is the more commonly known and used Maori name. Its translated as Glowing Skies!
Stewart Island/Rakiura is the fifth Dark Sky Sanctuary, and only the second island sanctuary in the world.
As well as having these amazing night skies, Stewart Island is also is known for it’s Flora & Fauna. Photographing the native birds is also a passion of mine.
