Nachricht von Rach Stewart

The Waiau Kauri Grove is a must-visit spot in Coromandel Town, New Zealand. Just off the 309 Road, this hidden gem boasts majestic kauri giants that tower above the forest canopy. You can take a short walk to marvel at these ancient trees, which are a special part of The Coromandel's natural heritage.

For centuries, the Giant Kauri Trees stood as pillars of New Zealand's native forests, revered by indigenous Māori and early settlers alike. However, the demand for Kauri timber during the 19th and early 20th centuries led to extensive logging operations that significantly depleted these ancient forests. This exploitation not only altered the landscape irreversibly but also had devastating ecological consequences, endangering countless species dependent on these forests for survival.

This small patch of Kauri Trees in the Waiau Grove are some of the last in the area and were saved in the 1970's but locals who protested felling them and the government finally gave in and left them standing.

Don't forget to use the wash stations to protect these ancient treasures.

For photography take your wide angle (16-35mm) lens with you and a tripod for the low light conditions.
