Day 41- March 19th
The next morning my mom and I stopped by the Waitangi Treaty Grounds again. Our admission was good for two days and I wanted to get a few more shots. Afterwards we drove west to Rawene, a small little town art town. Next we stopped at Koutu Boulders, a little beach with a bunch of round boulders. We walked around for a little and took some family pictures.
We went to Omapere point, at the mouth of Hokianga Harbor, next. We went on a short little walk and looked at some beautiful sandstone formations and the sand dunes across the harbor. You could pay to talk about across and go tobogganing on the dunes, but we decided not to.
Next we drove down to the Kauri forest. Kauri trees are a large tree, usually growing between .5 and 2 meters in diameter. Some were even bigger than that. They were cool to see and we stopped for a walk through the forest.
That night we camped at a DOC campground, Trounson, which was right next to a walk through the Kauri forest. There was also a walk you could go on to see kiwis, but it was $25/person and we were all sort of tired. There was a group of families camped next to us that night with what seemed like 15 kids. They all had huge tents with enough room for two or three queen air mattresses. My tent, which weighs about two pounds, seemed tiny in comparison.
