It boasts magnificent collections of antique kauri furniture, photographs, pioneer memorabilia and restored and working machinery, including a steam sawmill, and the world’s largest collection of kauri gum. The Northland Forest Park comprises 17 forests containing 85% of all the Kauri trees remaining in this country. The magnificent, tall, straight, knot- free kauri was one of the great inducements for settlement of these far-flung islands in the Pacific.
