Anawhata was milled as part of Piha 's operation. A tramway was constructed from the Piha Mill to the bottom of the hill, to the bottom of the White Road. Indeed, the Marawhara Walk parallels the old stretch of the tramway. This was the route used by the little Dub generator, the A196. The incline ended near the homestead of Craw.
Pole Line Track and Quarry Track can take you downhill to the McKenzie and Forbes Lines, then to the Piha Valley Track. The Centennial Track, which takes you down rugged steps to the Piha Valley Track, is among Piha's most emblematic tracks. At the peak of the Quarry and Centennial is the McElwain Lookout, a high-pitched structure. From here, you can look down to Piha over the interior of the Ranges.

🏹 Sagittarius setting on the horizon of the pristine Anawhata beach.
Anawhata takes a bit of time to get to but is very calming. Unique black sand, very few people, interesting walks in the area and even a natural ‘infinity pool’ hidden away.
When I originally captured the 19 shots required to make this, I had no clue how to process it.. over a year later finally getting in to the deepscape dream 🤓 Didn’t have a tracker back then but very happy with the level of detail pulled out of stacking these 2.5 second sky exposures.

Around a third of kiwis live in Auckland. We are all being exhorted to visit other parts of NZ rather than taking our regular trips to Australia, the Pacific Islands and the rest of the world. And, for sure, a high proportion of Aucklanders have never been to the Sth Island - it’s about time they did!⠀
⠀
But … Auckland has plenty of fabulous things to do as well and it’s time other kiwis sat up and realised that it is more than an excessively busy place to go shopping and eating.⠀
⠀
We are starting with a quick review of the black sand surf beaches on the west coast of the Waitakere Ranges, easily the most interesting Auckland region for outdoor lovers. Although most of the hiking is presently closed due to kauri dieback disease, it is still the most scenic part of Auckland to visit, and one of the most rugged and scenic surf beaches in NZ. In order of the pics - Whatipu, Karekare, Piha, Whites Beach, Anawhata and Te Henga.⠀
⠀
Being west coast beaches, also great places to watch the sunset (pics 5, 8 and 10).⠀

This shot has to be the hardest I’ve been trying to get for such a long time!! In order to get it FOUR things have to align. The milkyway position, weather, moon and tides!! Finally last weekend everything came together perfectly and here is the result!! 🌌🙌😲

I actually had a little cry when I packed up this painting to go to it’s new home. It’s presence was so soothing in my studio. ‘Be Here Now’, a painting of a magical beach, named after a magical book. This is the kind of painting that brings you right into the moment. Limited edition prints available on my website.
Whites, to the north of Piha is a true gem on the west coast. There is no direct road access so you need to walk in on relatively steep paths.⠀
⠀
Whites is accessible from North Piha by crossing over Te Waha Point. The track entrance is a bit obscure but there is a sign on the edge of the forest at the north end of the beach. It is a reasonably steep climb up to the point, with amazing views back to Piha and of Whites. Try and be there as the sun goes down!⠀
⠀
There is an easy but longer track down to Whites from Te Waha, or take the less obvious “goat” track across the face of the point until you find a guide chain. Then follow the chain down to the edge of the beach (pics 9 and 10). Much quicker and more exciting than the main track, and only a bit scary. Note that it may not be doable at high tide.⠀
⠀
You probably shouldn’t swim there as it’s unpatrolled, but people do …⠀

Piha is top weekend destination for Aucklanders on the west coast, but small with a few cafes and shops. There is a campground and a reasonable amount of other accommodation. Given how amazingly beautiful it is, it continues to surprise at how traditionally kiwi it still looks. ⠀
⠀
It is surrounded by high hills, cliffs and forest with some of the best surfing in the North Island. If you want to swim, the surf patrol area is at the south end of the beach near Lion Rock. Like all west coast beaches, it is not safe outside the flags. Sunset is a great time to be there, and several early evening and sunset shots are included in the series.⠀
⠀
For a cool walk, find the track that goes from near the end of the beach at North Piha, then hike over the point to much smaller Whites Beach. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes each way. The view back to Piha is in pic 7.⠀
⠀
There are some other great walks from around Piha such as the Kitekite Falls and Mercer Bay, but we will cover these another time.⠀

Priceless views of my favourite beach around Auckland. Can’t wait to come back there to enjoy the place and take more photos of it.

Got to Anawhata and couldn't stop taking photos ... from up the top of the hill, to down on the beach, it was stunning. There were a few visitors who were doing things apart from taking pics, such as surfers.
But if you are visiting Auckland, it really is a must do, which also means having a vehicle to get there. If you are local, you really have no excuse to do it at least once!

Lake Waimanu is another unique place to visit in the Waitakere region. You can access it from a small carpark immediately before entering Te Henga. It is an amazing experience as you either walk over a giant sand dune, or around it along a stream that follows the north side of the dune. At the end of the dune is the lake, with the dune effectively acting as a dam. The best swimming is from the edge of the dune.⠀
⠀
You can also hike for about an hour around the lake. There is a modest waterfall at the far eastern end.⠀

Happy Friday everyone! Renos are put on hold for now so we are excited to have our weekend back ❤️
#Anawhata #Auckland #YesAuckland #Westcoastbeach #newzealand
You can get to Anawhata by taking the Anawhata Road turnoff from about half way along the Piha Rd. it is a pretty, winding, metal road through forest then along the high ridge above Whites to a trailhead. Then it’s a 20 to 30 minute steep walk down to the beach. There is a particularly amazing viewpoint on the cliffs above the beach about a third of the way down, so try not to miss it.⠀
⠀
There is a camping ground near the end of the road and you can rent one of a couple of houses you can see as you head down. They are managed by the Auckland City regional park service.⠀
⠀
If there are more than a few people there, you just got unlucky …⠀
⠀
You can also hike from Whites to Anawhata if you really like hill climbs!⠀
