Trucked on in the morning through Dargaville & stopped to view the 3 sister Kauri trees in Trounson Kauri Park then onto see the 'Father of the Forest'in the Waipoua Kauri Forest. He had a trunk over 5m in diameter & could be the oldest in NZ (probably 2000 years old)it was amazing, we had never seen trees that big! Kauri trees can reach 60m in height, they grow to the top of the forest canopy & then grow outwards making the trunk diameter's huge!
Went onto visit the Kauri Museum in Matakohe which was amazing, all the history of these great trees.
Trucked on down to Parakai where it was raining so we went to the pub & ate t-bone!!
The next morning we went to the hot springs & swam in the warm waters & Jay went down the slides!! Left late morning & arrived in Raglan (surf beach) where we set up camp for the night, still raining! Got a Family Parks discount card, bonus!!
