Te Rewa Rewa Bridge

On our first morning in New Plymouth, I thought somewhere handy and iconic would be a great place for sunrise.

Opened on June 5, 2010, this international award winning bridge gets it’s inspiration from a breaking wave and a whale skeleton.

Spanning almost 70m across the Waiwhakaiho River, its iconic form represents the sacred relationship between the land, sea and wind with the Ngati Tawhirikura tribe.
