No I don't have a tree fixation, but kauris are special. They're also severely threatened by a fungal disease like ash dieback, to get into the best groves, we had to scrub and disinfect boots. They're sort of conifers, but leaves more the shape of olive leaves, more needly as they mature (for up to 4000 years) and smooth bark as youngsters, developing thick scales as they age, falling off possibly to remove hanging epiphites hitching a ride.
Enough of trees (never), we drove up the East coast and walked a short stretch to Cathedral Cove with spectacular islands & a huge natural archway. I suspect sunrise would be the time to see it, before the crowds. This evening we walked along Sailor's Grave Cove, almost deserted ,and perfect light.
Back for upmarket fish&chips: scallops, green-lipped mussels and veggie fritters.
