then it was back up in to the ranges again to do a lovely walk by a river

it’s a nice flat walk through quite dense rainforest and a few massive kauris, so we’ll add that to our tourist trail for international visitors

we ended up a little beach, then drove on to a boat launch and watched a boat launch.
