Taranaki coast rocks

Photographer Pat Greenfield has captured the effect of time and tide on the dramatic north Taranaki coast in the exhibition Impermanence: the Tongaporutu Coastline, which shows at Puke Ariki June 28-August 4.

Puke Ariki is New Plymouth's new museum, library and heritage centre. It is open daily, with a late night on Wednesday.

The coast's rock formations the Three Sisters can be viewed from Pilot Rd just north of Tongaporutu, or accessed on a low tide from Clifton Rd.

There are several Maori rock drawings in nearby caves.
