Next stop was nearby Westpoint Island itself.
This is a privately owned sheep station, but very welcoming.
It even had a small harbour with a jetty..
...and some well worn old buildings.
It was about a 2 1/2 km walk across the island...
...to another black browed albatross colony..
..but this time there were rockhopper penguins.
While we were standing there an adult bird flew in right next to us...
..and then decided to join us!
We were invited into the owners house..
...for an amazing afternoon tea.
It was obviously a busy time of year for them.
Although there were also quieter times.
