The Hokianga harbour is large and it is a windy drive to catch the ferry at Rawene.
The ferry goes at every half hour, so we had time to experience the weather conditions while waiting.

Rawene is a small village at the other side.
Once off the ferry, we stocked up with fuel and popcorn, and continued to the Waipoua Kauri Forest, as we wanted to see Tane Mahuta before dark.
Tane Mahuta, "Lord of the Forest", the largest kauri tree in New
Zealand. It stands 47 metres tall and is estimated to be 2,300 years
old.

Spent the night at Waipoua campgrounds. The showers were wonderfully hot, and the insects BIG!
