The Forest Walkway at the Kauri Museum in Matakohe Photo: supplied by Dr Jason Smith
Provincial Growth Fund money has been used to create a permanent forest walkway exhibit as part of a significant facelift of Matakohe's Kauri Museum director Jason Smith says the walkway captures the scale and history of the mightly tree from when it appeared in Māori legend. Dr Smith says it is the largest undercover attraction north of Auckland and he hopes the imminent closure of State Highway One through the Brynderwyn Hills will see detoured motorists pop in. The museum was established 62 years ago by locals.
