Westport has been my home, and a large portion of my life has been spent in the mountains between Greymouth and Karamea.
Mineral exploration, tramping and caving are outdoor activities I have enjoyed in this area, and the great variety of rock types, landforms and ecology make the northern West Coast a special place for me to live in.
