Pouakani - World's largest Totara

Pureora Forest Park is a 760-square-kilometre protected area in the North Island of New Zealand. Within its rich rain forest are an abundance of 1,000-year-old podocarp trees. It is "recognised as one of the finest rain forests in the world".
 Every time we have travelled to camp at Pureroa, we have passed this walking track. Today, we decided to see the World's Largest Totora.
No, this is not Pouakani, just another tall tree in the forest.

Plenty of moss
