		The largest rainforest tree in NZ, Tane Mahuta (God of the forest) and Te Matua Ngahere are majestic and well worth the time to soak in the beauty of nature.
		The only carnivorous snail the rare native Kauri Snail winds its way slowly through the bush by night only, giant prehistoric wetas (insects) are found under fallen kauri logs, native fish and eels are found in the stream that meanders through the bush, and the canopy by night is breathtaking.
		But, the wander of Trounson is found in New Zealand's icon – ‘Te Kiwi’ which live here in this protected pocket of kauri forest where you can look for and listen for the kiwi that live here – yet you are less than three hours from the bustle of Auckland’s International Airport.
