Island Jumping in New Zealand

For 10 years i lived in the most remote corner of New Zealand, the Chatham Islands. Located nearly 900kms East of Christchurch, the Chathams are a group of 10 islands, with a population of 650people. I loved my time on the islands, but due to family issues, i have temporary relocated back to my home town of Haast, located in Southern Westland. At the moment i am craving my island lifestyle, but my family comes first. My Mother has developed Breast Cancer, and to relocate her to the islands, hundreds of kilometers from the nearest hospital is unwise. For now, i am making the most of being back home in New Zealand, visiting places i had'nt visited before. To satisfy my hunger for an Island Lifestyle, i decided to explore some of New Zealands other Islands, to see people that live on other Islands. Over the past two months, i've visited nearly every inhabited island in the country, seeing how the other half live!!!!
