Moturoa Island (Bay of Islands)

About

Moturoa Island is a small island in the Bay of Islands of New Zealand, located about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) northwest of Russell. It is about 360 metres (1, 180 ft) from the mainland, separated by the Kent Passage. The nearest point is known as Day Point. Moturoa is adjacent to Black Rocks and Battleship Rock. There are approximately 20 house and 6 farm buildings on the island, all situated on the western side. Moturoa is owned by 21 families but only has a few permanent residents. About one third of the island has been fenced to create a designated area for wildlife.
