Motukorea from near Bastion Point
Motukorea: Motukorea from near Bastion Point
About 6 kilometres in front of the kayak is Motukorea, which means island of the oystercatchers. It's more commonly known as Browns Island after William Brown who part-owned it and lived there around 1840. The land to the left is the edge of Rangitoto Island.
