Remember when Katy Perry dropped "I Kissed a Girl" and then never did anything interesting, progressive, or charitable ever again???

Must go to Tane Mahuta and it's 100% worth it to make the 15 minute walk to Te Matua Ngahere (second largest Kauri tree and so beautiful). Hundertwasser museum (and the toilets further up), Mt Manaia walk, Treaty Grounds (obv), Eutopia Cafe (very fun), Matapouri, Mimiwhangata, Kai Iwi Lakes (super nice!), Spirits Bay, Opononi, Ahipara, Kairara Rock, Nga Wha Springs, Pompellier mission and printery, The Stone Store (very cool area), Rotopokaka Lake (coca cola lake), Sand dunes before Cape Reinga (worth the stop and the walk along the stream to 90mile beach) ahhh an overload. I swear it just gets better and better as you go up.

The Blue Orgins trip was a mix of performance and hallow virtue signaling

Kia ora e hoa! No Tai Tokerau ahau! My iwi Te Roroa is in the north roughly between Dargaville and Waipoua forest, apart from seeing the magnificent Tane Mahuta , I would like to suggest that Kai Iwi lakes are pretty gorgeous and Ngāwha springs not far from Kaikohe are definitely worth a visit! Have a good trip!
