FOR A SCENIC DRIVE
The Karamea Highway twists, turns and dips through a thick rainforest punctured by craggy, weather-beaten mataī, rimu and rātā; ancient behemoths draped in a finery of frond and moss. What better excuse could there be than this to stop often rather than spend an age staring at the back end of a truck? There are several short walks and lookouts between Waimarie in the south and where the road ends at Kōhaihai, including Lake Hanlon just south of Karamea, and the signposted “Large Mataī Tree”.
