We left our delightful Hideaway at Donnellys Crossing and had a short journey to see the biggest tree in New Zealand, The Tane Mahuta and had an informative presentation from a local guide. He also sang a Maori version of ‘My Way’ !

We then did the walk through the Kauri Forest to see the oldest tree in New Zealand, The Te Matua Ngahere which is about 2500 years old.
