2012년 12월 14일  Mahurangi and Wenderholm Regional Park 를 中國人 親舊와 함께.

마후랑기 리져날 파크를 트램핑 한 후 20여분 거리인 뉴질랜드에서 최초로 오픈한 웬더 홈 리져날 파크로 이동하여 비치에서 점심 후 중국 전통악기 징후(二胡)와 아코디언으로 포카레 카레, 어 메이징 등을 연습하며 즐거운 한 나절을 보냈다.

 

마후랑기 리져날 파크(Mahurangi Regional Park)

This regional park at the entrance to Mahurangi Harbour offers 3 sheltered bays that are ideal for swimming, walking and picnicking. Walking tracks connect the bays and offer superb costal views.

 

Muhurangi Regional Park is divided into 3 sections - Mahurangi West, Scott's Point and Mahurangi East (only accessible by boat). To get to Mahurangi West, head north along SH1 past Wenderholm and turn right onto Mahurangi West Road. Turn right onto Ngarewa Drive and continue to the carpark at Sullivans (Otarawao) Bay.

Sullivans (Otarawao) Bay offers white sand and safe swimming near high-tide. Behind the beach is a grassy reserve with Pohutukawa trees that offer shade for a picnic.

 

From the northern end of the bay, the Mita Bay Loop Track (2hr) climbs over the headland and down to Mita Bay, offering panoramic views out over both bays along the way. Alternatively, the Cudlips Point Loop Track (2hr) climbs from the southern end of Sullivans Bay up to Cudlip Point, again offering great coastal views. This walk connects with Te Muri Loop Track (3hr) which takes in Te Muri Beach.

 

주차장에서 출발하여 능선을 타고 오른 후 우측 비치로 내려가서 왼쪽으로 비치를 한 바퀴 돌아 온 오늘 트램핑. 오늘은 간조(Low Tde Time)가 대략 12시로서 물이 빠져있을 때만 가능한 코스(2년 전 사진으로서 물이 찬 만조 시간대의 사진).

 타석(Tussock, 덤불, 풀숲) 조림지(Area)

뉴질랜드 경치는 타석(Tussock, 덤불, 풀숲)이 있어서 더욱 신비롭다고 말한다. 대부분 초록으로 덮인 뉴질랜드에서 처음 타석을 접하면 누구든지 기괴한 느낌마져 든다. 차를 타고 다닐 때는 그저 누런 잡풀로 보이지만 1미터 이상 되는 풀이 길게 곳곳에 뻗어있는 자세히 다가가서 보면 생각이 바뀌곤 한다. 고급식당이나 ㅎ텔에서 내부 장식용으로도 이용할 정도로 보면 볼수록 아름다운 숲풀.  

Tussock grasses or bunch grasses are found as native plants in natural ecosystems, as forage in pastures, and as ornamental grasses in gardens. Tussock and bunch grasses, in the Poaceae family, are grasses that usually grow as singular plants in clumps, tufts, hummocks, or bunches, rather than forming a sod or lawn, in meadows, grasslands, and prairies. As perennial plants usually, they live more than one season

Many species have long roots that may reach 2-metre (6.6 ft) or more into the soil, which can aid slope stabilization, erosion control, and soil porosity for precipitation absorption. Also, their roots can reach moisture more deeply than other grasses and annual plants during seasonal or climatic droughts. The plants provide habitat and food for insects (including Lepidoptera), birds, small animals and larger herbivores, and support beneficial soil mycorrhiza. The leaves supply material, such as for basket weaving, for indigenous peoples and contemporary artists.

Tussock and bunch grasses occur in almost any habitat where other grasses are found, including: grasslands, savannas and prairies, wetlands and estuaries, riparian zones, shrublands and scrublands, woodlands and forests, montane and alpine zones, tundra and dunes, and deserts.

 웬더 홈 리져날 파크(Wenderholm Regional Park) - 마후랑기 리져날 파크에서 20여분 거리.

Wenderholm Regional Park(웬더 홈 리지오날 파크)

Wenderholm Regional Park(개요) is the first regional park of the Auckland Region, New Zealand. Situated between the estuaries of the Puhoi River and the Waiwera River, on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, the park features a homestead known as Couldrey House, and a carved pouwhenua. This park also features a Maungatauhoro Te Hikoi walk, starting at the carved pouwhenua near the Couldrey House, and allows the park visitors to see scenic views and birdlife. The park has its own resident artist, and part is sectioned off for ecological restoration.

History(역사) : For 1000 years, Maori had lived in this park, because of all the natural resources it had featured. The Auckland politician and enterpreur Sir Robert Graham protected many of the ancient trees in the area from felling to be used for timber for ships.He went on to build a homestead in the park (now known as the Couldrey House). Many of the historic trees in the park were given as gifts to Robert Graham from George Grey. The park has a resident artist, Nic Moon, provided by Auckland Regional Council. Her role is to create works specifically for the site, including some that involve the trees themselves.

Ecological restoration(생태적인 복구) : A 60 hectares (150 acres) section of the park has been set aside since 1965 for an ecological experiment, stopping livestock from grazing and repopulating the forests. This allowed native species of birds which were no longer in the area to be re-introduced in 1999. one of the first species released into the area Petroica australis longipes (North Island robins) has a generally high rate of survival and procreated a good number of young, unfortunately not high enough to compensate for the loss of the adult population.

Native trees(원시림) : The native bush of the park is the Pohutukawa, with the blaze of red in the summer, on the slopes facing north is the Kowhai bush which are covered with yellow blooms in the spring, and the low-laying sandspit

이 주택의 역사를 보니 탁월한 오클랜드 정치가이며 기업가인 로보트 그래라햄이 1868년 최초의 유럽피언 소유자였다고 한다(Prominent Auckland politician and entrepreneur Robert Graham became the first owner in 1868).그래햄은 겨울동안에 이 곳 Waiwere resert 에 겨울을 보내기 위해서 평평한 곳에 이 농가주택을 지었다고 한다(Graham built a homestead(Wenderholm) on the flat, to use while he spent time at his Waiwera thermal resort in winter).

즉, 그가 겨울동안에 지냈던 할리데이 주택(Winter Home).
