Tiritiri Matangi lies 4km off the coast of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, north of Auckland, New Zealand.   It is one of the most successful conservation projects in the world.  Unwanted predators have been eradicated, and the once-pastoral island has been replanted with native trees.  Rare native birds and animals have been returned to its now-safe and restored habitats.

APS members spent an enjoyable weekend with stunning weather capturing images of the the island and it's inhabitants.
