90 Mile Beach was rainy, so here is a web photo.

The "Tane Mahuta", located in the Waipoua Forest, is the oldest kauri tree in the world, estimates run as high as 2000 years. Road flooding and poor weather caused us to spend two days in Dargaville, so the pictures from those days have been combined.

We took a walk in the Trounson Kauri Park and were rewarded with a rain forest experience with many impressive kauri trees.

We had previously seen a livestock warning sign, and today we saw the wandering lifestock.

We found Dargaville to be a very interesting town. We stayed in a reconditioned railroad car.

The Dargaville Museum had a restored machine that was used to wash kauri gum.

The Dargaville Museum had other interesting items too. We especially like the wall hanging that was made out of New Zealand shells. The museum had a carving of a gum digger (person who dug kauri gum) and the town had a similar statue.

Near our camp ground was a replica of a Mauri war canoe and a park that was both a play ground for children and a fascination for adults.
