Waiau Kauri grove

Waiau Kauri grove
8 km along 309 road a walking track leads to the most accessible and mature kauri stand on Coromandel peninsula. Kauri (agathis australis) grow very slowly and very straight, shedding their lower branches as they grow and were therefore very popular for building. There are only a few pockets of mature Kauri left, mostly in Northland and Coromandel, which are now protected.

Danke, Peter! Laut Führer gibt es da eigentlich nur einen siamesischen Zwilling, aber mir sah das auch nach Drilling aus.-)

A lovely image of these beautiful trees. It amazes me how often we still are driven by short term profits, without thought of the future.

Thanks, George! In this case they stopped quite a while ago but by then the damage was already done! I'm afraid people will never learn.

Vielen Dank, cammino! Genau das Mächtige wurde diesen Bäumen fast zum Verhängnis, es sind wenige übriggeblieben.

Lovely - is not it these Siamese Kauris? But it looks more like triplets!

Thanks a lot, Tom! I think it must be, but I wasn't sure- exactly because it looks like triplets here;-)

Thanks, Diane! This tree is endemic in NZ so only Kiwis and NZ fans will have heard of it!
