Description
The ancestors of our ancient kauri tree first appeared on this landscape more than 200 million years ago. This hands-on, small group tour allows you to interact with our collection and uncover the past including handling ancient lignites and swamp kauri that are tens of thousands of years old. Learn about the impact of man and introduced species to New Zealand and what you can do to help “Keep Kauri Standing” for future generations to come. The 45 minute guided tour is the perfect introduction to your museum experience (allow a further 1.5 hours to explore the lifelike displays and uncover some of Northland’s best kept secrets).
