First of all in this morning's paper we read that our temperature was actually 37.4 degrees yesterday according to a weather station near us. No wonder we felt exhausted. Thank goodness it is a lot cooler today but no sign of rain.
When I wrote about A.H. Reed Park blogger, Local Alien, mentioned that she had a book on A.H. Reed and was glad there was a park named after him.
He was a publisher, writer and walker/tramper see here to read about his biography.
In 1957 the scenic reserve adjoining his old home at Parahaki was named the A. H. Reed Memorial Kauri Park. Maturing kauri trees known to be at least 500 years old can be easily viewed close up from a raised walkway through the forest canopy.
It is a lovely walk especially on a very hot day.
