pretty country.
what kind of poisonous or toothed critter do you have there ?

sounds like a nice place

New Zealand is a very peaceful place, apart from there being calm and order on the streets, you will also find that there is almost no animals in this land that are venomous or really dangerous, especially when looking at it closest neighbour, Australia, which has the top 10 most venomous and dangerous snakes in the world, venomous spiders, sharks, crocodiles, dingos, killer jellyfishes, and the list goes on and on. On land the only animal that has the ability to kill is probably being stung by bees (in the case of allergic people), but even the bees in New Zealand seem calmer. This all means that you can walk through the forest or bush, national parks etc..with absolutely no fear that any animal will bite you, except of course mosquitos

Yep- Skeeters seem to thrive everywhere.... ;-)
I'm convinced when the next huge meteor strikes the earth and kills off all living creatures- skeeters, cockroaches, and coyotes will somehow survive...
 
I agree with you there Old T. Skeeters are a bug bare no matter where you are.
Those photo's are fantastic, NZ is one of the places I have always wanted to go to, but it is such a long haul journey.
the fourth one down is that a Cordyline tree, I have a beautiful one in my Garden, everyone who see's it comments on how nice it has grown.
 
Back home with the dial-up.

We got mosquitos, sandflies, a few spiders. Nothing to worry about on this walk - these photos were taken on Pirongia, last week. Whether it's too early or too cold, there's been no harrassing skeeters this year, and I don't ever recall encountering them on Pirongia.
I do wear leggings because of the hook grass - has a barbed seed head that catches in leg hair.

There's plenty of native bush around NZ, as well as farmland and forestry - but I find every place I've been a little different. Pirongia is wet and muddy, lots of ferns, Nikau palms on the lower part of the mountain, constant birdsong and buzzing flies. In Ruapehu area I recall more beech, heathers, mosses, tussock, bare scoria; in the Tararuas open ridge with the wind blasting across - a good deal of the walk I did there last year was above the tree-line, then down through more tussock.
 
cordyline = cabbage tree. It's not the same as the cabbage tree often seen on farmland - either stunted through exposure or a slightly different variety. But I'd say it's the same family - I'm no botanist however.
I think I've got another image uploaded with a wider view:

Thanks for the pics. I have a friend who ranches over there somewhere. He really seems to enjoy it and tells me the trees really grow fast due to the weather.
