The museum was a surprise as it was huge, really well presented and very easy to enjoy. It was a great way to learn about the famous Kauri tree and the connected history of New Zealand. Definitely well worth a visit.
So well done! Fabulous way to learn about NZ. Combine with a 10 minute Kauri bush walk just up the road, and a stop at Nelson's Kauri Gallery north of Dargaville, and explore the giant Kauri trees on your way to Hokianga and the Signal...More
