How to get away from Cape Foulwind
With a name like Cape Foulwind, you may understand why you want to get away. And how far you must go.
Here the Europeans, the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, anchored in Aotearoa (and later naming it New Zealand), for the first time in 1642. The weather was probably good, and he called the outcrop Cliff Rock.
Then the English Captain James Cook found this place in 1770 under probably worse conditions. He named it Cape Foulwind. Since the English won the competition of ruling Aotearoa, the name stuck.

Signs, and what to do
This signpost is close to the fur seal colony in Tauranga Bay, on a windy, salty and fresh spot to get a good outlook of the area. On this track going south from Cape Foulwind Lighthouse there are stiff cliffs down to pebble beaches and the Tasman Sea, and low rolling hills towards the mountains in east.
This area is a nice spot to stop, relax and enjoy the outlook and beach, especially if you are a surfer. Or hike along the trails and exhibit some coastal flora and fauna of the West Coast Region in South Island. And some fresh, varying weather conditions.
Included an old, secluded track-and-bowl-system near the lighthouse.
The seal colony is well protected, but easy observable from a safe distance from the walking track. The closest town is Westport, and they have all necessary amenities from lodging to food, drinks and hiking equipment.

Photo shows a signpost placed in a coastal landscape with bushes, gras and other greenery plants typical for New Zealand in the lower background. The signs point to places a long distance from this spot, like London 16 266 km, Sydney 1719 km and Zurich 16 093 km and local cities like Christchurch 190 km and Dunedin 397 km. The pole is solid fasten in a concrete flat area, with a walkway leading off to the right. The upper background is a lightly clouded blue sky.

The End-Level Signposts in Sonic Games
Will we ever run out of weirdly obsessive video game details to learn? I can't rightly say, but for today at least there is a video from Bobby Bionic's investigation into weird behavior by the signs at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog levels. (16 minutes)
