Western harbours
Port Fitzroy and the inlets around it create a deeply indented coastline on the western side, a haven long used by boats sheltering from the open Pacific.

About this Great Barrier Island map poster
Great Barrier Island, known in Māori as Aotea, lies northeast of Auckland on the outer edge of the Hauraki Gulf. It is the largest island in the gulf, and its shape is complex: a mountainous spine down the middle, deep inlets and harbours on the western side, and long open beaches facing the Pacific on the east.
There is no mains electricity grid, and residents rely on solar power and other off-grid systems. In 2017 the island was named a Dark Sky Sanctuary, among the first in the world, recognising its exceptionally dark night skies. Hirakimata, also called Mount Hobson, is the highest point, rising through native forest near the centre.
A Great Barrier Island map poster contrasts the fractured west coast, with its inlets around Port Fitzroy and Tryphena, against the smoother Pacific shore. The few roads wind over the hills between small settlements. It is a detailed, rewarding subject, especially for those who know the island's tracks, its harbours or the short flight in from Auckland.

Pacific beaches
The eastern coast faces the open ocean with long, curving beaches, giving that side of the map calmer and more sweeping lines.
Forested spine
A high ridge runs down the island with Hirakimata near its centre, and the island's few winding roads bend around it rather than across it.

Why Great Barrier Island
A map that means something
Aotea means a great deal to people who have lived off-grid there, walked its tracks, anchored in its harbours or stood under its night sky. The intricate western coast gives the map depth, and it holds up beautifully at the larger print sizes.
Use Aotea or Great Barrier Island as the title, add a subtitle with a date or a family name, and edit the coordinates. Noir makes a fitting tribute to the dark sky sanctuary, and Classic black & white, Paper, Blueprint and Sand are also available.
