Hi everyone!
A new international letterbox has been placed on the South Island of New
Zealand at South Bay in Kaikoura.
The Little Shag is a bird in the Cormorant family. In the area where
this letterbox is placed chances are you will sight at least one Little
Shag and probably more

KAIKOURA PENINSULA LITTLE SHAG LETTERBOX
PLACED: December 21, 2001 by The Paisley Orca (Amanda Briles) and
Maronie (John)
LOCATION: Kaikoura, South Island, New Zealand
DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 1 just south of the town of Kaikoura follow the
signs to South Bay. This puts you on South Bay Parade. Follow this
road all the way to the entrance of the South Bay Recreation Reserve. A
gravel road will take you to the car park area at the trailhead for
Peninsula Walkway.
CLUES: (easy and terrain is easy, also, though probably not handicap
accessible)
Head down the rocky trail alongside the grassy bank. The trail turns
into a grassy dirt path. Go over two short, metaled boardwalks. At the
end of the second boardwalk take 13 steps forward then turn left. Walk
till you are between two trees. A broken branch entwines them. Behind
the base of the tree on the right hand side under a branch on the ground
Little Shag is drying his wings waiting for you to stamp in.
This is not an international bird of mystery but the letterbox is
Shagadelic, Baby!
Best regards,
