When you step off the ferry at Tiritiri Matangi, the first thing that hits you is the birdsong. The three croaky notes of the tui, the trill of the korimako (bellbird) and one call that sounds very much like an old car trying to start up. The cacophony is as arresting as the view. I disembark with a large party – my tween daughter Rose and her friend Beata, my dad Gary, my sister Julie, her husband Luke, their son Finn and his cousin Saskia – on a beautifully sunny Sunday morning.
