Once was ... the brick
The Southern Rata trees on Auckland Island are the world's southernmost forests. They are thick, dark and gloomy. Among the ferns we spotted a brick left from the Enderby Settlement. Commenced in 1849 and intended to operate as a base for whaling and agricultural operations, it was a total failure and closed in 1852 with the buildings removed, leaving little other than a small cemetery. The full story is here: www.teara.govt.nz/en/subantarctic-islands/page-5 View on black.

tiabunna club has replied to slgwv clubWent and read the history. fascinating and Thankyou George !
I am going to read the history link you have provided ... I imagine
those ferns to grow enormous ... but a feeling of damp ... and
oh my bones are aching ;-)
"… The whole island … would form a delightful retreat to a few amiable families who wish for “a dear little isle of their own”.
and yet humans ... wanted to get out there . . . ;-)
Enjoy your day!
