From Auckland we headed north to the Kauri Coast. The Kauri tree is the second largest tree in the world. It is not as tall as the redwood or the sequoia, but it is extremely wide. Most of the 2000 year old trees were harvested by the Europeans in a few decades after they arrived around the 1880s. We visited the Kauri state forest and saw the largest 2 of the remaining trees.
We stopped at the Kauri Museum, which described the life of the first European settlers. It had a lot of original artifacts, including a boarding house for the loggers and lots of original logging equipment.
