This giant is a remnant from the days when the forests in this bay were dominated by lowland podocarps (native pine) - Rimu, Totara, Matai and Miro. My outstretched arms cannot even reach across its width. I might be able to hug a quarter of its girth. It is wrapped by the roots of Southern Rata and Marlborough broadleaf.
Don't you just love the stripes?

Vantage point. Scully and I enjoyed a few wind-down half hours contemplating the bay from here.
