In Pt 4, the final part in our trip. We have stopped catching birds so now we are burning the last of the rubbish, enjoying some fishing, and packing all our gear to be lifted back onto the boat.

Each year our family makes the trip to Big South Cape Island or Taukihepa, it is an offshore island of New Zealand to the west of the southern tip of Stewart Island. The island has no permanent inhabitants but our family and other muttonbirders visit the island each year to exercise our traditional Maori rights.

I hope you all enjoyed the 4 part series.

Thanks for watching

--This video is intended for my whanau and extended whanau that can't make it to the island to show what it is like down there--
