KARAMEA wild
..is a personal photo album site of the Karamea that I see, a Karamea that is full of life and wild everywhere. As well as being an outlet for my perpetual shutterbug habits, I hope that this site illustrates the extraordinary beauty and diversity of life in this place that we call Paradise. Large or small, rare or common, native or not, just like the human community here, everyone is included making it a rare and beautiful place that we should all treasure.

The Karamea region is one of those beautiful natural spots in New Zealand, blessed and conserved by it's remoteness. Karamea inhabits a natural plain bordered to the north by the Kahurangi National Park and the south by the Karamea Bluffs, with its toes in the Tasman sea and its head in the clouds and mountains to the east. Four major rivers flow through the region and two large estuarine environments now protect the land from the sea. Whilst the flat land is intensively dairy farmed, there remains significant natural areas and wildlife. Both the agricultural land and forested and estuarine environments provide homes and grazing for our native and visiting species and treasures abound here for all those who appreciate nature.
