Te Toto Gorge Mt Karioi Raglan New Zealand

Captain Cook named Karioi as Woody Head. The mountain is unique in being the most northerly on the west coast with a native rainforest sequence from sea level to montane flora. It is sustained by annual rainfall of over 1.5m.

Wind, in the form of prevailing salt-laden sou’westers off the sea, significantly affects what grows where.
