The Great Adventure: Day One: Waipoua Forest

Before we set off East again we went North along the Kauri Coast through the Waipoua Forest .


The vastness of this 9105 hectare forest conservation area is astonishing

 
From the top of this tower stretches forest in every direction

 
A great place for bloggers.

 
 As far as the eye can see, and then some 
  
The River Waipoua - can you spot the blogger! 

 

Tane Mahuta - See Pauline's Blog for interesting information on this wonderful and ancient Kauri Tree
