whangarei falls & A H Reed Memorial Park.

well, i've spent most of this weekend painting the flat & will wow you with the results fairly soon, just need to finish up & tidy the place up, it's looking pretty grim at the moment. I thought I'd just chuck some pictures of some of the nature stuff I've been doing so far - not a lot, I know.

this is in A H Reed Memorial Park - I'll be going back there soon... This bush is a magnificent remnant of the original Kauri Forests which were once extensive throughout Northland. The park features a canopy walkway giving a birds eye view of the forest, including two 500 year old Kauri trees. I've actually taken a picture with one of the Kauri trees - it's huge! Unfortunately I'm also on it, and and I also look huge, so it will never be seen.
the pretty girl modelling the canopy walkway is a friend of Gid & Min's that came to visit.

this is at whangarei falls - you can actually walk from A H Reed to the falls if you wanted to, it's about 35 min's walk. I've not done that yet, but I'm planning on it! And yes, that's me, wearing the latest in cascading water & greenery.

It's really very green & pretty here, there is green stuff growing everywhere, including in my flat :) I always think that if the doctors from House break into my house to see what's caused my mysterious illness, they'd probably find more than enough spores en mould that could have done it...
