On your blog, tell us whether you would like to go and visit Tāne Mahuta one day. Be sure to tell us why you do (or do not) want to visit this endemic tree
----------------------------------------------------------------
If I was able to visit the Kauri tree ( Tāne Mahuta´s tree ) It would be a huge
privilege to visit it, as the Kauri tree is the tallest in New Zealand and it's a place
where I´ve never experienced before. Did you know that Kauri forest is located in
the North island at Waipoua Forest. Although it's quiet a walk through a lot of trees +
Bushes I would really enjoy the fitness walks and mother nature as itś surrounding
us. Visiting this place in real life I would feel really hipped that I've finally got to visit
the place and everything around and about it. The first thing I would do as soon as
I got there would be to explore the area, take loads of photo´s and to just relax and
enjoy the view of the forest. Overall I recommend everyone to visit this incredible,
beautiful place and hope to get everyone up and getting some exercise for that
walk to the Kauri Tree.
