    The Duke's Nose

    December 24, 2023 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Christmas Eve morning. After a couple of days where we didn't do a lot, we thought it was time to stretch our legs and do some sightseeing. So after a slow morning, we had trevally pita's for lunch and launched the dinghy for a shore excursion.

    We landed at Lane Cove hut and hiked up the track to the Duke's Nose, roughly 30 min and 180m elevation. The track was a bit muddy after the wet weather, but super interesting with steep sections held together with tree roots and a couple of sections where you have to scale a cliff (aided by a safety pole).

    Although it was cloudy, the views were still epic, and brought to mind scenes from Avatar.

    After a photo shoot at the top, we headed back down the track for a dip in the water to cool off.
