Typical scenery north of Wanganui, Flat topped limestone hills with steep gullies
That's the south island in the far distance
The fence is to keep out predators and protect the kiwis
There were some magnificent epiphytes in the forest
Eucalyptus grove
Huge Northern Rata
There are native palms here... but no coconuts
This is a rain forest with some temperate, some sub-tropical features
