This gives an idea to the size of these Kauri Pines
A cross section from a Kauri Pine, the plaque reads "This Kauri Pine slab was sawn at Yangaburra mill in the 1960s. Its girth measurment is six meters, a similar size to the Twin Kauris. Scientists estimate this tree was one thousand years old when cut."
Grandstands, good for bike storage, drying washing and lounging around.
This Tree Kangaroo tried to steal the bike, I caught him and had him stuffed.
OK, I think the tent needs to be tidied up a bit.
