Visit this unique geomorphic valley of rocks and rainforest in the upper reaches of the North Island. Visiting the Wairere Boulders is like stepping into a prehistoric world. Hundreds of fluted basalt blocks cluster together in a formation that stretches 1.8 km.

Around 2.8 million years ago, a volcano that once stood near Kaikohe poured a layer of basalt rock over the land. This rock was gradually eroded by rainfall, forming the Wairere Valley. As the water washed the soft clay under the basalt away, the layer broke up into huge boulders, up to 30 metres in diameter.

The unique fluting of the boulders was most likely caused by water running off and around the giant kauri trees in the area. As the rain poured down the branches of the trees and over the soil, it collected organic acids which, when they flowed onto the boulders, eroded ridges or 'runnels' in the rock - some 750 mm deep.C

Wonderful Vlog from Travelling Tiny , FB & YouTube. this February Vlog was about their visit to , Selina our Camp Mother & Food Trucker, makes an appearance with he awesome fruit waffles!

"We’ve just had an unforgettable stay on the Hokianga Harbour, just outside Opononi, and this spot seriously blew us away. With nearly 360-degree views, epic sunrises and sunsets, and plenty of drone-worthy scenery, this campsite felt like winning the lottery.
If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Kane, and you’re travelling with my wife Nicky and our two kids, Hunter and Lila, in a tiny home that I built. We’re exploring New Zealand full-time and making the most of life on the road as a family.

This video also takes us to the incredible , a privately owned 143-hectare park featuring 2.8-million-year-old fluted basalt rock formations. With multiple walking tracks, lookout points, swimming holes, and even a café on site, it’s a must-visit if you’re exploring Northland.

We also check out some massive coastal boulders nearby — some of the largest in New Zealand, reaching up to 6 metres in diameter and best seen at low tide.

If you love tiny house living, off-grid travel, family adventures, and discovering hidden gems around New Zealand, you’re in the right place.
Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and follow along as we continue heading south on our journey." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSQeGFcPLu8 Give them a follow, fantasitic photography, drone footage around the whole of NZ - Awesome!!

For our new Followers this will help put into perspective, especially if you went hiking or bouldering! Enjoy! We have many overseas visitors not only enticed by the wilderness camping and the adventure activities but also adventuring into the wilderness with the owner to find new and exciting boulders to climb. This video was taken by two Austrian men who fell in love with the wilderness and the boulders. They took their drone to be able to share with others the immense size of the property (353 acres/143 hectares), the boulders and the Hokianga Harbour.
