Tane Mahuta... Lord of The Forest..

To our roadie took us further North and a lot of the drive is through beautiful New Zealand bush.. We took a stroll through one of the tracks and great to see some fine specimans of our native Kauri..
We then went on to see this huge tree Tane Mahuta which is thought to be 2000 tears old .. 18 mtrs to the 1st branch..
Height.. 45mtres Girth.. 15.56 mtres
