The centre of New Zealand

---

‘The Centre of New Zealand’ was our destination today with Patrick.

This central trig point was used for surveying in the 1870’s.

Starting at the site of the first-ever rugby game played in New Zealand we took the trail up to viewing platform with a giant white pin (built in 1968) that identifies its unique history and with amazing views of Nelson & Tasman Bay.

On the way up we passed native trees and plants species and a solitary Kauri tree that had been planted in 1951

Kauri are among the world's mightiest trees, growing to over 50m tall, with trunk girths up to 16 m, and living for over 2,000 years.

Patrick always finds such interesting walks and this one with those amazing views was another triumph.
