Cape Reinga

On our final day we thought we should go to the northernmost tip of the country - Cape Reinga.
We had a look at the Rainbow falls on the way.  NZ seems to have plenty of water.

We also looked in to see some recovered Kauri being used for various sculptures and furnishings etc.  This wood has been underground for between 45000 and 50000 years and looks like it was harvested yesterday. In a showroom, a massive tree trunk had been used as a central pillar and a staircase carved inside.

Cape Reinga itself is a fairly desolate windswept location as expected but we did see it.
