Well, after a week-long break caused by inflammation of the lungs, I continue my story about our trip on the outskirts of Dargavilya.

The next day we decided to walk to the New Zealand Protected Forests cowrie. Cowrie - conifer (with absolutely coniferous, in our understanding, does not appear). Instead of needles him grow normal leaves. Wood cowrie is characterized by the fact that it is not rotting and not kameneet. Found trunks, fallen 40-50 thousand years ago, and wood in the trunks of all the same live and plastic. In addition, the texture of wood on raspile is very beautiful. These two properties of wood cowrie resulted in the second half of the 19 th century, virtually all forest cowrie in New Zealand were predatory cut. Then, of course, spohvatilis, cowrie declared a national treasure, began to save what remains and replant the new territory. But the matter is complicated by the fact that the cowrie is very slow growing tree. More or less marketable size trees become aged 150-200 years. But growing cowrie long - hundreds or thousands of years.

In approximately 40 kilometers from Dargavilya there are several protected forests. One of these forests is called Trounson Kauri Park. Laid track through the forest, and all-around pristine wild. You go to the cowrie trees of different ages and sizes with the undergrowth of fern silver fern - a national symbol of New Zealand. For information about the park, we learned that it is possible to see kiwi birds (another symbol of New Zealand) and NZ huge snails. But as the kiwi - nocturnal birds, as well as, it seems, and snails, we did not see, except for some large birds in the trees, but were unable to identify her.

Walk and breathe the fresh air of the tropical forests vladnogo :) we went further, to the more trees cowrie in New Zealand. But about that later. In the meantime, see how the forest looks like cowrie:

Kauri and Fern Kauri Kauri

The middle picture - another symbol of New Zealand - the bark - the escape of a young fern silvern fern. And on the right - the escape of fern, as it is used in the emblems :)

Kauri Koru Silver Fern

Throughout the trail, I break to make a panorama, but close to the tree like it was forbidden (as it is written - the roots of cowrie very close to the surface and tender and if they go, you can kill the tree), just got a panoramic view of the forest would not be interesting. And at the end of the trail we saw this fallen tree. Here it is, and has become a major forest panoramas :)
