I haven’t done this walk
for a while. The first part is uphill from Karori.
It was a pleasant enough day, warm but
overcast and a bit misty so the view north across the harbour to Petone was a
bit blurry (or maybe my lens needs cleaning).
Obligatory summit snap.
We came down through the new path that was
being cut the last time we did the walk. Once into Otari the bush closed in and
we were in the primæval forest.
This is
kahikatea –
the king of the southern forests (
kauri being naturally
confined to the north of the north island).
We emerged at the bottom of the gully in
the middle of
Otari
bush.
Then it was a short climb out of the gully
to Jenny’s for a pot luck dinner. I spotted this
kereru attempting to
hide in a tree.
This is
kaka beak growing in Jenny’s
garden.
