Through a lovely green landscape of green rolling hills we reached Opnoni on the west the coast. En route we visited the Kauri Museum. We learned here that out the moors 30.000 years old trunks were recovered. They can be worked till fine pieces of art. Out the same moors the resin was mined, similar to amber, but not that old. The resin was worked into beautiful objects and used for the industry making lacquer.
Opnoni lies at the Tasman sea and had enormous and nice sand dunes.
