Today we visited the Whirinaki Forest Park. This is a beautiful dense forest that was almost destroyed through logging.David Bellamy led a campaign to save this 'Dinosaur Forest' and the remaining 55,000 hectares have been protected for 25 years now. The forest is populated by very tall totara, kahikatea, miro and rimu trees.
It was a wonderful place to spend the day, we had great weather and saw only a handful of people despite it being a bank holiday.
