A geocache brought me to this spot, late in the afternoon. It was lovely to meet the creator and custodian of many of the flora, Hugh, and chat to him.

Had the pleasure of talking with Paul from the team looking after the reserve. The work they have all put in just shows that there are awesome hardworking kiwis who love our land and want the best for it and for the native wildlife too.

I had the most amazing walk through Hinewai. What they have accomplished there in term of restoration of native forest is amazing! It is on a hill so you do need some fitness, but it well worth the energy to explore this amazing place.
