A stand of kauri trees, Agathis australis, somewhere between six and twelve hundred years old. It shows what large areas of the northern part of the North Island would have been like before the logging of the 1800s and early 1900s. One of the largest kauri left, Tane Mahuta in the Waipoua Forest, is 52 metres tall, 17 metres around and about 2,100 years old.
