This visit is a long day out. The drive of 110 kilometers takes a good two hours there and back on winding roads. In the past couple of years the Department of Conservation have fenced the conservation land, established a legal easement over the farmland, and shot out the deer. Once there, you will walk through tall secondary podocarp-hardwood forest, wind-sheared coastal forest, and a copse of nikau growing on the edge of a tiny stream that falls abruptly over a high cliff to the sea. Voting: it will be election day — make sure you cast an advanced vote!
