Orokonui (01.08.12)


Our trip to Orokonui


Today we drove with the Van to Orokonui. This is an enclosed area without any mammals in it, so that there is still a piece of land which is as it was before the arrival of humans. A guide called Sofie showed us around and we wandered through wonderful forests and saw lots of little ponds. Due to quite bad weather we couldn't see very many birds, but we were still able to watch lots of little birds drinking. Sofie told us lots of interesting facts about New Zealand's nature and the threats of it. After one hour we came back to the starting point and drove back to St. Hildas.
