Brook Waimarama Sanctuary

                                               
What a great trip we had this morning to the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary! Rick, our guide, taught us so much about the bird and plant life up there.

We discovered a weta living in a hollow tree. Rick took out his phone and held it up to the hole so we could see the weta.

I learnt that you can use kawakawa leaves to help with ulcers and toothache. We also learnt how stoats and other animals affect the area by attacking birds nests.

The leaves shaped like ears were edible and can be cooked in garlic and butter.
