Grays Bush Scenic Reserve

Kiwi Guardians at Gray's Bush Scenic Reserve

Introduction

Immerse yourself in a ‘living museum’, a small remnant of what use to be, before the Gisborne plains were changed forever.

Highlights

  • Imagine once upon a time when the whole of the Gisborne plains were covered in native bush.
  • See Puriri and Kahikatea growing together – one likes ‘dry feet’ and the other likes ‘wet feet’
  • Take a photo on the giant fallen Eucalyptus tree.
