Additional information –
The large tree was the last of the trees on the edge of 90-Mile Bush, which stretched through Central Hawke’s Bay to the Wairarapa. Danish migrants built Dannevirke and Norsemen built Norsewood in the centre of this vast bush. Hawke’s Bay’s route to Wellington before a narrow track through the Manawatu Gorge opened was from Waipukurau, to Wallingford, where horses were changed, to Porangahau and down the coast.
