		At one point the Heaphy Track turns fl where it crosses a coal seam and then, 100 m or so above the Lewis Hut, the first nikau palms appear and slowly thicken over the last kilometres of the journey to the coast.
		The area around the Heaphy Huts and Lagoons remains Maori Land and evidence of grazing and the introduction of noxious weeds is obvious as lupins and gorse border the coastal track almost as far as Wekakura Creek.
		In summer, the atmosphere is almost subtropical, fostered by the song of cicadas and a soft mist among the palms carried in by mild westerly breezes.

		She was expecting to meet up with some old friends, snails she’d painstakingly located on previous study trips; measured and marked for future reference.
		Walker says possums were relative latecomers to the far west of Kahurangi National Park (they didn’t appear at Kahurangi Point until 1959), so although they’d been around for a decade, they probably didn’t hit peak numbers until the end of the 70s.
		We couldn’t even get enough numbers to define a trend.” However, the programme is getting good results in other areas, places like Kahurangi Point that still had good numbers of snails to start with.

	TDC > West Whanganui Ecological District - TDC Biodiversity Overview
		It forms the extreme NW of South Island reaching north to a latitude level with Foxton (41o.30'N), extending from Kahurangi Point in the south to the tip of Farewell Spit in the east.
		The latter is about 30km long and is composed only of sand, but protects a large area of intertidal sea-grass flat designated as a wetland of international importance for wading birds.
		Fire has replaced much of the forest on flatter tablelands, intensifying the pakihi-like character of the vegetation by encouraging the growth of manuka and a distinctive community of associates such as Epacris pauciflora, through which more diverse forest vegetation eventually develops.

		After having done so much solo tramping, going on a relaxed two-day trip with another tramper was a welcome change.
		The views were magnificent from the summit of Mount Owen, as the highest point in Kahurangi National Park, and my favorite part was spending an afternoon exploring the landscape, finding ways through the mazes of miniature tablelands and slot canyons, and taking the usual “hero shots,” including an exact duplication of our map's cover photo.
		But perhaps what I will remember the longest are Jason's and my conversations regarding faith and our belief systems.
