Snuffle Nose

One of the New Zealand's crop of weird place names is Snuffle Nose. So far flung from anywhere is Snuffle Nose, a rocky clifftop, between Long Bay and Horseshoe Bay on the Peraki Coastline, Akaroa Harbour. Even the station near here, Reids Hill, doesn't have a sealed road, and their track stops well short of Snuffle Nose. Judging by the satellite imagery, if one went to Snuffle Nose, they might find almost nothing at all, not even a clue as to how it got it's weird name, but maybe a view of a tiny little rock called Whale Island. A description and a photograph are always welcome at NZPlaces.
