Soaking up an orange sunset at Cape Reinga Lighthouse, Cam Bostock had the biggest smile on his face and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. He had reason to be happy, having just completed the Te Araroa.
Cape Reinga Lighthouse is one of New Zealand’s most-visited and photographed lighthouses. The famous Cape Reinga Lighthouse does more than just look pretty in a picture – it has an important job, providing one of the first lights ships will see as they approach New Zealand. Built in 1941, it replaced a lighthouse on nearby Motuopao Island which, because of its remote location, had become too dangerous to service – a few years earlier, the wife of an assistant lighthouse keeper was swept off the rocks. The new lighthouse at Cape Reinga was the last staffed lighthouse built in New Zealand, and had two keepers up until 1987, when it was automated.
