IN THE WAITAKERES

One of my favourite journeys in New Zealand was from my home in Titirangi
along the scenic drive about -- -- -- 23 miles from Titirangi to the west coast beaches of Piha
the black sand beaches from which ironsands were dredged
to be transported to Japan for the steel industry there

I think that New Zealand has the most varied and unusual mixture of trees and vegetation
that I have seen anywhere
there are a few very small flowers
but generally it is from medium to very dark green

the Pungas grow by the millions and Kauri trees and the Rimu
and the whole aspect of living in this wonderful environment and be able to walk from
my garden straight into the New Zealand Bush
as part of my garden was New Zealand Bush
exactly as this is here----- is absolutely incredible
and I often wish that I could take a piece of it with me
not just in photographs
