The Tararua forest looms (literally) on my doorstep, and is one of several mountain ranges in the North Island of New Zealand which form a ridge running parallel with the east coast of the island between East Cape and Wellington.
Bringing in the new year discovering another hidden wonder of our country was exhilarating. Tramping through lichen covered ancient forest at 4000 feet, and trying to withstand the powerful southerlies our wee country has to offer was just a few highlights of the trip.
My next challenge has already been put to me – to get a deeper understanding of this forest; what new challenge will you be taking on this year to open your mind to the wonderment of nature?

Looking good jerem… you could find a parallel career in modeling icebreaker too!
When I get back to NZ a tramp (hike) in the Tararuas is one of the first things Im going to do.
4000 FEET? Jeremy, this is New Zealand and that was the Tararuas – 1200 meters please! (Nice post by the way – miss the Tararuas hugely). All the best…
Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Blogs should be more like this one, I think.
