I’d love to get into the Raukumara Park one day for a good look.
As it happens, I’m going to the Waioeka Gorge area over Easter; that’s the venue for this year’s Bryophyte Workshop, and I’m visiting the lead organiser.

I am lucky in that my wife’s family have some land down there. So when we go bush walking we really go bush!

There are some great doc tracks there though:

It really is rugged country and not for the inexperienced so asides from the light stuff caution is key over there. But if you are game enough to get right into it you will not be disappointed,this area has some of the most pristine examples of undisturbed Native bush in the country.

Can you please recommend good places of native forest to visit between Opotiki and Gisborne? I haven’t spend much time there.
I tramped a few hours into one of the Northland forests (Warawara) a few weeks ago and that was pretty cool! Lots of big trees; kauri but many other tall species too.

I had no idea there was a living display at Te Papa. Like most kiwi’s I’m bush crazy. I just wish there was more of it left for us to play in up north.

My main interest is in trees especially the Large ones, there are some beaut examples of prehistoric looking native bush on the east coast Between Opotiki and Gisborne, I’ve never seen the likes elsewhere.

But I’m still most interested to see what grows around Wellington, Keep it up I’m loving it.
