Warkworth

New Zealand as it used to be.   No farting cows here!!!

This kauri tree is around 800 years old,  less than half the age it could expect to be. Pink pants?   Who could that be? Humans first arrived in New Zealand 1,200 years ago and since then have been chopping down these giants.  When the Europeans arrived en-mass in the 1800's they felled them like men possessed until the kauri was all but  extinct.
