    The koru, which is often used in Māori art as a symbol of creation, is based on the shape of an unfurling fern frond. Its circular shape conveys the idea of perpetual movement, and its inward coil suggests a return to the point of origin. The koru therefore symbolises the way in which life both changes and stays the same.: by taylortreks, Views[247]
         		 Ah, it looks like the mists of time!: by taylortreks, Views[165]
         		 This is what all the NZ rain creates.. a rainforest!: by taylortreks, Views[174]

         		 So that's how they named New Zealand!: by taylortreks, Views[180]
         		 This is the replica lighthouse, built and maintained by the Cape Egmont Boat Club.

They also turned it into a museum.: by taylortreks, Views[551]
         		 This road is known as the Surf Highway. Aptly named, don't you think?: by taylortreks, Views[238]

    This is how Anna chooses which path to take - the shortest one!!: by taylortreks, Views[203]

         		 But well worth the effort!: by taylortreks, Views[213]
         		 But the view down the mountain is spectacular.: by taylortreks, Views[166]

         		 This side, too.: by taylortreks, Views[176]
     
    Looks the same from the Forgotten World Highway. (But that's a different blog post!): by taylortreks, Views[192]
         		 Yeah, we're walking all the way down there to the lighthouse. We won't talk about how long it took Anna to walk back up...: by taylortreks, Views[207]
         		 Alas, no whales came scratching today. Goodness knows we looked hard!: by taylortreks, Views[205]
