Our final HoliDay

Today was all about kauri trees, the ginormous “fathers of the forest” that were all but eliminated by loggers. We saw one of the largest remaining (with a diameter of over 13 meters) in torrential rain, then visited the extremely good Kauri Museum.

I all of a sudden developed a bad cold last night, so it wasn’t a top day to start with, and I’m very tired now. This is my last post from down under. My next post about the Far North will be about the one 17,000 km north of the Far North we were in yesterday 🙂

[Edit – a photojournal of the entire New Zealand trip can now be seen at ExploreNewZealand.ca, a new site I created for that purpose.]
