Great Barrier Island
Great Barrier Island (Aotea) represents New Zealand the way it used to be - a sparsely populated and rugged landscape. It is the remoteness, seclusion and natural beauty which attract people to Great Barrier - to live and to visit. Although part of Auckland City, Great Barrier Island is 90km away to the northeast, in the outer Hauraki Gulf. It has a permanent population of around 1200 people which is known to skyrocket to between 12,000 - 15,000 during the peak summer period. Great Barrier Island is accessible by sea or air.

The bush is silent now. Gone are the sounds of axe and saw, the pounding of the stamping battery and the whistle of the logging trains. Gone also is the birdsong that echoed throughout this island before the habitat of many native species was destroyed.
