Trounson Kauri Park
I visited in August 2018, wanting to see the trees just in case the park was closed due to Kauri Dieback disease. I was overwhelmed by their size, their aura, and the feel in the forest. They need protecting so boardwalks keep our footfalls away from their roots in an effort to stop the spread of diseased soil affecting them. They are massive trees and have been there for hundreds of years - who are we to advance their death?
Can't Sleep At This RV Campground! Dargaville, New Zealand
I'm still at the NZMCA Park in Dargaville and learn that I'm parked at the noisiest spot possible! Looks like there are lots of logging trucks that drive through the town. After moving the caravan, I finally succeed in washing my hair with my caravan shower. Then the weather turns bad...
I move campgrounds to a Top 10 campground (Kauri Coast Top 10) which is extremely quiet and peaceful after the previous loud nights. I finally get a chance to wash my clothes. Then I explore and end up at Trounson Kauri Park Campground where you can walk through the Kauri trees.

Camping Trounson Park (Kauri coast) Top 10 holiday park Prt 1
A great time away camping at the Top Ten holiday Park (Kauri coast) Trounson park
Although we have been before this time the boys being older were keen to take a couple of mates that have never been before - it's always great to take kids to new places...
In this part one we take a look at the park it's self, swim at the water hole, take a walk in the Trounson Kauri forest, play a great game of Kiwi bat down and feed the eels....
Great fun and keep your eye out for part 2

I've Been Everywhere blog - lost but I have found the song
After leaving Trounson Kauri Park down the wrong road I found myself down trying to find my way back via a different road. I found out later that the road was wasted out back in 1988 but this was not on the maps. I the road was starting to become less like that of a road that was used well. The sign to warn me was not being shown as it keeps being pulled down. The van was not stuck that much but did not have the guts to back me out. I walked to find my help and was pulled out by some friendly locals. Suzuki quad bikes!!
I found the CD with the song 'I've Been Everywhere' and it is the 1991 version with a change in some lyrics to that you will find on the internet. Once I have sorted all the locations out I will add the correct lyrics to theroamingreliever.com. The song will also be available there for you to listen too.
