Waipoua, and the adjoining forests of Mataraua and Waima, make up the largest remaining tract of native forest in Northland. The kauri tree, Agathis australis, is New Zealand’s largest and most famous native tree. Ancestors of the kauri first appeared in the Jurassic Period 190 – 135 million years ago. The kauri forests are among the most ancient in the world. The oldest tree is estimated to be 2,000 years old. These can reach a height of almost 60 meters.
