	Unique New Zealand wildlife - Northland - Waipoua State Forest
		It is a bit unusual to sit in native forest and listen to a chorus of exotic birds such as mynahs, magpies, flbirds and rosellas.
		There was a riotous spring colour in the forest, voluptuous gold and red in the clumps of yellow kowhai and crimson rata, and there were masses of greeny white clematis and bowers of pale tree fem to rest the satiated eye.
		These forests were a slow-growing but quickly exploited resource and once they were gone Helensville stagnated for many years, but is now showing signs of a revival.

	Agathis australis description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This is the largest relatively pristine forest left in the Northland; it extends 19 km inland from the coast and rises to an elevation of 640 m, some of the highest country in the Northland.
		The largest kauris, the largest area of intact kauri forest, and the greatest variety of walks are to be found in the Waipoua Forest.
		These forests also contain one of the largest continuous tracts of native forest left in Kauri country and have few tracks or trails; thus the area is potentially the most significant for discovering new giant kauris.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Northland temperate kauri forests (AA0406)
		Today kauri forests are largely protected and coastal wetlands and peat bogs further contribute to the region’s biodiversity, harboring large populations of seabirds as well as threatened plants and birds.
		Nevertheless, the endangered North Island kokako (Callaeas cinerea) persists in the Waipoua forest, and fantails (Rhipidura fuliginosa), North Island robins (Petroica australis longipes), whitehead (Mohoua albicilla), tuis (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae), and kereru, or New Zealand wood-pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae) are all present (Hilton-Taylor 2000).
		Past threats to kauri forest are largely mitigated: logging and gum-tapping have both ceased, and controlled burning regimes have reduced the range and intensity of brushfires.
