Revisiting The Three sisters
About and hour and 15 minutes south west of Te Kuiti, on the road to New Plymouth, is the coastal wonder of the three sisters. Three giant pieces of rock that sit in the Tasman see guarding the coast. The softer sandstone from around these rocks has ben worn away by the motion of the raging Tasman seaThey can only be accessed by land at half tide or less and it is an amazing walk along the fairly muddied estuary to the west coast of New Zealand and then South . I am always amazed at the rock forms and holes in the protuberances. It is such natural beauty, somewhat austere but majestic in its entirety. I always feel such a sense of well being when I have made the journey out to where the sisters stand. While there are always people enjoying the trek, it is one of the lesser known joys of living in a country like New Zealand and the coast here is never crowded. Perfect for filling the well as Julia Cameron puts it. The textures of the rocks and the dripping water land forms always fill me with a sense of wonder and provide me with inspiration for future art work
