The museum
Galleries. Each gallery tells one part of the kauri story, from the tree itself and the giants of Waipoua to the gum diggers, the bushmen and the fight against kauri dieback. Historic photos come from public collections and are credited under each image.
Stories. New articles are added every week, researched from official and reputable sources that are listed at the end of each one.
