The Pureora Buried Forest

If you asked me about the most dull walk in the North Island, this one would probably be it.

The walk is about ten minutes long, and about two hours from home. The "attraction" is a buried forest. 1800 years ago a volcanic eruption knocked all the trees done, and in the '80s they were dug up by a tractor.

Needless to say, the site is now of interest to those who go to those sorts of places because of the back story, but not for those who want to see something. On the upside, there were blackberries here when I visited.
