This Visiting Mammal Gives Freedom Camping At Tokerau Beach The Seal Of Approval...

It's not often a seal pays a visit to Tokerau Beach so when one does, it's quite an event.
My friend Harvey interviewed and photographed this unusual visitor.
My name's Sydney said the seal and I left home in the Southern Ocean a few weeks ago.
I'd heard about the beauty of New Zealand's Far North and the wonderful fishing here in Doubtless Bay, so I've stopped off for a feed and some freedom camping.
Then I'm off to Melbourne Australia for a nephew's barmitzvah.
Harvey was impressed but personally I don't believe a word Sydney said... 

Freedom Camping In New Zealand Doesn't Get Much Better Than This...

This is the view I'm lucky to wake up to.
This is where, just a few minutes ago,
I had breakfast sitting in the sun.
At the risk of repeating myself,
this is the beautiful Tokerau Beach
at Doubtless Bay in New Zealand's Far North.
This is where I've been for a little while and where I'll be a little longer.
All's well with this little bit of the world.
No fiscal cliffs, just a few gentle sand dunes...
