The Takaka Mardi Gras




Takaka township is the official bohemian capital of New Zealand. This year us intrepid Owens spent a fun afternoon and evening amid its many colourful and zany characters.


One of the many special things about Takaka is its relative isolation. Crossing the Takaka hill is an experience in itself. The famous Able Tasman National Park is located on the headland, between Motueka and Takaka.

Golden Bay has a fantastic drumming troupe.


And a cool little movie theater. Zoom into these details of the mural. Can you see the map of Golden Bay hidden Anywhere?
