Piha, Karekare and Whatipu are to the south of Anawhata. To the north are Te Henga (Bethells Beach) and Muriwai.
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.
Might need to do another Anawhata trip again soon

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 …⠀

A fun short walk at Karekare is to walk around the Watchman. Its actually a bit hard to believe you can get so much photographic variation from a single, albeit big rock. Drive up Watchman Rd on the right just before get to the main carpark. Park at the top of the road, then follow the track to the ridge. Instead of going up the ridge on Comans Track, head down across the scrub covered dunes to the beach - the Watchman is on your left. Wander along the beach for best pics, then walk back along the stream to the main carpark. Enjoy!⠀

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.⠀

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.
How many captions can one come up with for sunset photos?

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!

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.

The lovely larnienicolson and alice.lines spent a few hours with me in my happy place, and they took some stunning pics for homestylemag. Here are two of my faves. Featuring Max the cat... and my face! (looking better than usual because my bestie abbyjayneblack is a make up artist, and works magic!)
This is the second in my set of two intuitively inspired landscapes. It makes me dream of warm Autumn sunsets with the sun on my cheeks. Blissful, vibrant, full of life. Again, no name for this one yet! I’m hoping to name it and post it online in the next few days (once I’ve come down from my retreat-cloud). If you’re interested before then, message me for details. And if you miss out on the original, there will be prints 🧡🧡🧡
Going going gone 2020! Hello 2021 from #aotearoa #anawhata Wishing everyone a peaceful, healthily New Year that will be marked by compassion and concern for others and where we aim to strive for a better future for all, not just a few. Wear a mask, wash your hands and get vaccinated when you can!❤️🦊
Few people already asked me "who took the photo when you appear on it?". The answer is quite simple, unless stated otherwise, it's my tripod (after I set all the settings of course). It's the same if I appear with a friend or my partner, I use the combo tripod/timer (or remote control). The reason why I sometimes put me in front of my camera is because otherwise, I never have photos of myself during trips as I am always "the photographer of the group" and who takes the photographer? Simple... nobody haha Nothing wrong with that, I love taking photos of my travelmates but I must admit that it's nice to have few memories of a place with you on the photo, just to say in 30 years to your grandniece: 'see? That was me when I was 30'.
The other reason is that as a photographer, I know the kind of body language I want for my photos so it's easier and quicker for me to be the model for some situations.

'Sun Soaked Souls' - it's a play on words. Yes, it's paying homage to hot summer days, watching sunsets from sand dunes. But it also speaks about those moments when your soul completely lights up - full of love, light and inspiration.
This original is available (it's friend has sold), from my website.
“Take time to do what makes your soul happy”🤎
