Little Barrier Island
Here are some maps, links, photos and other resources that may be helpful to volunteers and RFPT Kiwi Project members during our planning process for transfers from Little Barrier Island during 2009 and 2010.
In most cases, you can simply click the link or the thumbnails to reveal a larger image.
Caution! Some of these files are quite large, so will take some time to download if you do not have broadband Internet access.
Many thanks to Robin Toy for the photos he took of Little Barrier Island during his recent visit there.
