Treaty of waitangi

The Treaty of Waitangi
The Treaty is the agreement signed by
the representatives of the Queen in England
and the chiefs of most Māori tribes when
Britain first claimed New Zealand in 1840.
The treaty takes its name and place in the

beast camp ever


walt: post a blog.
For camp, we went to the  Hokianga. We went tobogganing. When we first got to the sand dunes I saw the smaller sand dune. I was scared to go down once I went down, I was confident enough to go down the big one. As I was going down I got scared and let go of the board and went shooting into the water. When I got off my board it was over my head it was about 1meter and 60cms deep. After that, I got to see Tane Mahuta. We stayed at a beautiful marae. It had a pitcher  view. I wish I could stay there forever. I liked my camp this year a lot .I rated it a 4 1/2 /5 Next year I hope it will be just as fun!


kauri die back.


Tāne Mahuta, is the biggest kauri tree alive, in the Waipoua Forest of Northland, New Zealand
Tāne Mahuta is a giant kauri tree in the Waipoua Forest of Northland Region, New Zealand. Its age is unknown but is estimated to be between 1,250 and 2,500 years. It is the largest kauri known to stand today. It is named for the Māori god of forests and of birds (see Tāne). Other giant kauri are found nearby, notably the three sisters. Tāne Mahuta is the most famous tree in New Zealand, along with the three sisters. It was discovered and identified in early January 1924 when contractors surveyed the present State Highway 12 route through the forest. In 1928 Nicholas Yakas and other bushmen, who were building the road, also identified the tree.

During the New Zealand drought of 2013, 10,000 liters of water from a nearby stream was diverted to Tāne Mahuta, which was showing signs of dehydration.
In 2018, the tree was threatened by kauri dieback, a generally fatal disease which has already infected nearby kauri trees. DOC initiated a plan to protect and save the tree from kauri dieback
