The Redwoods is known in Maori as Whakarewarewa Forest
(said Fok + ah + ray + wah + ray + wah)
This fabulous redwood forest is just 5k or so outside
of Rotorua – a major cultural (and former tourist) destination.
The redwoods are not native to NZ – being Californian!
There are hiking trails, bike trails, horse trails and
also a walkway suspended up in the trees. I haven't done any of those but I
have been to a couple of big dinners held outside amongst the trees that were
magical occasions.
So this is one attraction I sure hope survives.
