Big tree, a signpost and gravel roads

Saw the big Kauri Tane Mahuta today, is a pretty awesome tree really. And Kauri's are pretty good looking which helps :)

Also made it to the top of the world to the lighthouse and signpost. So many people there, tour buses and everything. Neither of us thought it would be that busy. Found Vancouver on the sign and said a hello to me in that direction. Figure it'll take a few months to travel over the oceans by which time I will hopefully be there :)

We then drove via the giant sand dunes on the way back, gravel road to get to them and they were also real busy, it was far too hot for either of us to want to get out and attempt to walk up them, no matter how good the view might have been. 

We also drove via 90 Mile Beach on way back but think we (I) took the wrong turnoff out of the 2 as we got the one with 7km of gravel road. Pretty bumpy ride and the beach was just a beach but still worth the trip I think. 

We made sure the big Kauri tree (yup that's what the sign called it so must be it's official name) was still there on the way back, it was :)
