Waipoua Kauri Forest

When we left our campsite near Cape Reinga, we headed south and we were on a mission to see the Waipoua Kauri Forest and get all the way thru to the south of Auckland, this was not going to be a short day. But we did find time to enjoy the journey thru the forest with it's twisting and turning roads. New Zealand is made for touring on a motorcycle, every road that we have traveled is full of twisties with absolutely gorgeous views.
The Kauri Tree is a old growth tree that can be very large, maybe not as tall as some Redwoods or Sequoia that I have seen but certainly as large in diameter as many, as you can see in the photos I am a tree hugger.
