Further up the slow, washboard road is Whirinaki forest- a reserve of old-growth forest that is different from others we've seen. Its very dense and damp, everything is covered in a thick layer of moss, with vines and roots everywhere- it's a lot like Mirkwood.
We did some more nice and fairly easy hikes through here and stayed at an amazing DOC campsite with its own waterfall. Its also the first campsite we've been that actually allows fires, so we were able to have a small campfire, some hot chocolate and really feel like we're camping in the woods!
