South Catlins New Zealand
There is an abundance of native wildlife in the bush and around the coast in Waikawa. Of outstanding importance along the Catlins coast is the Hoiho (Yellow-eyed Penguin) - the world's rarest penguin - which nest around the Curio Bay and Waikawa area.
Other native coastal birds include: Titi (Muttonbird), Te Koau (Black Shag), Kotare (Kingfisher) and Torea-pango (Black or Variable Oyster-catcher). The most common native forest birds include: Kereru (Native Wood Pidgeon), Tui, Korimako (Bellbird), Yellow-breasted Tit, Grey Warbler, Piwakawaka (Fantail) and Brown Creeper. Pukeko (Swamp Hen) are frequently seen around the harbour and in the wetlands near creeks and swamps.
Marine Mammals
Tucked in between the Waikawa Harbour and Curio Bay (Tuma Toka) is Porpoise Bay (Whaka Aihe), home to the Hector Dolphin (Papakanua), the world's smallest dolphin and one of the rarest. These small dolphins are only 1.4m long, are distinctive by their black and white markings and pale, almost white colouring.
Two other marine mammals common to the South Catlins coast are the Rapoka (Sea Lion) and Kekeno (Fur Seal) often seen basking in the sun, on the rocks at both Curio and Porpoise Bays.
Nearby Scenic Attractions
Waikava Harbour View is close to many southern scenic attractions. Sights to see south of Waikawa include:
Porpoise Bay (Whaka Aihe) - home to Hector Dolphins and Yellow-eyed Penguins. It is also a regular resting place for seals and sea lions. Porpoise Bay is a safe swimming, snorkelling and surfing beach.
Curio Bay (Tuma Tuka) - is the site of one of the world's finest fossilised forest from the Jurassic period over 180 million years old. It is easily accessible at low tide or can be viewed from a platform. During the summer months there are guided tours over the petrified stumps and trees.
Waipohatu Recreation Area -- two walking tracks and a picnic area have been developed on conservation land at the edge of the Waikawa Forest, one of the ten forests that make up the Catlins Forest Park;
• The Wheelchair Track is an easily accessible 20-30 minute walk.
• The Waipohatu main circuit Walking Track is a 1.5 hour walk past the Punehu (Misty) and Pouriwai (Darkwater) Waterfalls.

Wellington Travel Guide - New Zealand beautiful Experience
Wellington Travel Guide - New Zealand beautiful Experience
Wellington (Te Whanganui a Tara in Māori) is the capital and second largest city of New Zealand. It is located at the south-western tip of the North Island, between Cook Strait and the Rimutaka Range. The Windy City is built on the foreshore of Wellington Harbour and ringed by mountains, providing the scenic home of many of New Zealand's national arts and cultural attractions.
Wellington offers a blend of culture, heritage, fine food, and lively arts and entertainment. Surrounded by hills and a rugged coastline, the city boasts a stunning harbour. Wellington’s charm is that it serves up a vibrant inner city experience with a slice of New Zealand scenery. And because of its compact nature, you can sample it all: boutiques, art galleries, trendy cafés and restaurants. Right on its doorstep is a network of walking and biking trails with beautiful wineries and vineyards just a few hours away. Wellington has an array of theatre, music, dance, fine arts and galleries and museums, and is home to one of the nation’s key attractions, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
Wellington is known for its film tourism. It is the heart of New Zealand's film industry and main filming and production centres for films such as the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, Avatar, Tin Tin and District 9. Because it is the capital city, Parliament and the head offices of many Government departments and large businesses occupy central Wellington. This is especially true in the areas closest to Parliament Buildings - the northern end of The Terrace and Lambton Quay areas and the Thorndon commercial area.
Wellington is known as the Windy City. The prevailing wind is from the northwest but the strongest winds are southerly. The wind speed and direction can be seen by the flag being flown from the Beehive. A large flag is flown only on calm days, a small flag is flown when windy days are expected.
The core of Wellington is notably compact and vibrant, and is well-suited to exploration by walking. As dictated by geography, the core of the city is quite linear, with the classic commercial backbone known as the Golden Mile making for a diverting and pleasant walking route. This route runs from the Railway Station down Lambton Quay to its southern end at Willis Street. It then runs down lower Willis Street to Manners Street and the pedestrianized Manners Mall, and continues straight onto Courtenay Place. On the Manners Mall section, the route crosses Wellington's bohemian heartland of Cuba Street, which heads south into the core of Te Aro. While these streets mark the traditional core of the commercial city, the surrounding blocks also have plenty to be seen.
Another enjoyable and popular place to amble in the city core is the Waterfront, from the revitalized Kumutoto area in the north, past Queen's Wharf to Frank Kitts Park, and then through the Lagoon and City-to-Sea Bridge areas and on to the Te Papa museum and Waitangi Park. From here the waterfront curves northeastward along lovely Oriental Bay with its beach and promenade.
Wellington has many restaurants and cafes, in fact more cafes, bars and restaurants per head than New York City. Malaysian food is surprisingly popular and available in most areas. Wellington has a bustling nightlife, concentrated along Courtenay Place, one of the major streets running from the CBD. It runs through Te Aro and ends in Mt Victoria.

Cliff House by Dualchas Architects offers panoramic views of a Scottish loch
This cliffside home by Dualchas Architects on the north-west coast of Scotland's Isle of Skye mixes silvery larch wood with traditional Scottish stone
Designed by Scottish firm Dualchas Architects for a couple, Cliff House is a single-storey dwelling offering panoramic views of Loch Dunvegan in the picturesque setting within the Inner Hebrides.
The building was conceived as two connected volumes – one that nestles against the rugged terrain and another that opens out to the view.
A wall of Caithness stone borders the south-east facade. This parts in the middle, in line with a dip in the landscape, framing an entrance route that reveals little about the spaces contained within.
The building is first seen from the curved path as a wall in front of the dominant background, explained project architect Daniel Bar. As the path unfolds and cuts deeper into the landscape, this relationship changes, with the building becoming the dominant focal point.
The entrance leads through to a living and dining room that takes up a large section of the plan. The front of the space features floor-to-ceiling glazing, while a kitchen is tucked away at the back.
Ceiling rafters are exposed overhead, revealing the change in height between the house's two volumes. This allowed room for the architect to add clerestory windows that filter extra daylight across the space.
The rest of the house follows the same pattern, with a pair of bedrooms benefitting from the view and two bathrooms slotted into the more secluded spaces behind.
The idea of contradiction, as expressed in the elementary geometry of the building, is not only a reminder of the isolation and mystery of its location but also of the rarity of being able to live amongst the drama of the ever-changing atmospheric conditions in this part of the world, added Bar.
A polished concrete floor runs throughout the interior, while larch clads the remaining exterior walls.
The site is located in north west Skye, overlooking Loch Dunvegan. It manifests itself as a contradiction: far reaching views to the north east and harsh winds from the south west. The constant is the horizon.
An existing ruin marks the entrance situation of the croft, while the edge of the cliff locates the dwelling on its site high above the water's edge, giving the connecting path a distinguished end.
In order to address the site conditions, the building consists of two volumes; one closed, the other open. The first contains all serving functions to support the main open rooms. Together a place is created that provides shelter and privacy whilst maintaining focus on its surroundings.
The building is first seen from the curved path as a wall in front of the dominant background. As the path unfolds and cuts deeper into the landscape, this relationship changes, with the building becoming the dominant focal point. This suspense is released upon entry. One wall of the main open volume is omitted and the visitor stands in front of a fully glazed screen atop of the cliff. The topography of the site allows the surrounding landscape to be experienced as a panorama. The built space ends with the horizon.
The geometry of the two volumes are not only offset in length but also in height. The voids created are fully glazed and the volumes and their location remain readable from the inside. They act as vistas, remaining open in the in-between and looking back on both the building and its setting. Additional light enters the dwelling at in its centre, between the exposed rafters running the full length of the building.
While the typology of the building is specific to its surroundings, it was necessary to detail its appearance in a language that is commonly understood. Both the location and function of the two volumes are confirmed by the use of material. Caithness stone for the retaining wall and larch for the open plan main rooms. The height and hue of the horizontally laid courses correspond and merge both volumes into one building. The continuous horizontal plane of the polished concrete floor, acts to further blur the relationship between interior and exterior. As nature reclaims the site it is only the trampled grass of the path, that becomes domesticated in the landscape.
On the interior, materials are omitted to give dominance to the characteristics of the site acting as a gallery filled with the objects and memories the client surrounds themselves with.
Living is a decision that is also defined by the choice of place. This dwelling seeks an answer through the specific means of architecture of how the qualities that make a place can be distilled into built matter in our times. The idea of contradiction, as expressed in the elementary geometry of the building, is not only a reminder of the isolation

Rhode Island has a proud tradition of independence and a number of historic firsts. The smallest state in the union is one of America’s precious gems and a microcosm of New England. The first armed conflict with the British took place in Warwick, Rhode Island with the burning of the Gaspee, and the Industrial Revolution has its origins at Slater Mill. Preservation of history in the form of 18th century architecture is a major concern in Newport. Twentieth century mansions line the bluff in the Bellevue District including Astors Beechwood Speakeasy, which brings to life the past through entertainment, music and acting. Visitors to Rose Island can step back in time by staying at a lighthouse, in the process learning about stewardship and the responsibilities of being a light keeper. Providence, the state’s capital, has gone through a major transformation in the last decade. The city has become revitalized through a combination of development and civic pride. Barnaby Evans’ WateFire Providence is a moving work of art and a symbol of the city’s transformation. Providence also supports a tasty tradition of culinary excellence nurtured by institutes such as Johnson and Wales University and the Culinary Archives & Museum. The Federal Hill district known as “Little Italy” is famous for its restaurants, boutiques and gourmet food shops. A glimpse into the world of jewelry manufacturing shows the origins of some of the local wealth that was used to create some of the beautifully preserved architecture on Benefit Street. Outside of the capital, small villages and businesses have changed little over time, including historic Coggleshall Farm and Kenyons Grist Mill. Block Island draws thousands of summer residents each year who come to experience the pace of island life and its beaches, boating and fishing. Rhode Island might be small in size but it is a state rich in history, culture and color.
