Lake Maraetai & Pouakani Forest


Today is Waitangi Day and a day off work, so we headed down to see Anna & Tim in Taupo for the night. We met up about 40 mins out of Taupo at Lake Maraetai. A popular lake for waterskiing and wakeboarding.




We managed to find a quite spot by the edge of the lake for a picnic lunch.






From here we headed to the Pouakani Forest and a short walk through the bush to find the famous totara tree.






A pretty big tree, with a trunk girth of 11.5 metres and just under 40 metres tall.
