The Kauri Tree is famous in New Zealand for the size, age and beauty of the trees. We took a day trip to the forest and saw some trees wider than 10ft and a couple hundred feet high. We actually met someone from Southern California working on Yogi Bear the movie staring Alex Baldwin and Justin Timberlake (I think I lost Joo’s attention a short while after our new friend uttered the word “Timberlake”). The wood from the Kauri Tree is used locally by Kiwi’s to make many of New Zealand’s crafts. It is really hard to capture the sheer size of the trees in the pictures so I hope they do it a little justice.

ReplyDeleteCool pictures.
Hi, I hope you don't mind, I've copied your great photo of the Kauri trees over to my blog as I travelled there without a camera in order to paint. I've just finished a painting in the studio and thought it would be good to blog the real thing. Sandra
