We started to head north today and the weather deteriorated as we went through mountains and into a different environment. As the vegetation is generally described as rainforest, we should not have been surprised at the amount of rain which was descending and as we neared the coast the attitude of the trees gave a clear indication of the direction of the prevailing wind - which was prevailing quite strongly!
The forest goes right down the cliffs to the Tasman seashore. The rainwater runs down the cliffs to the Tasman seashore. The Tasman sea goes all the way to Australia and Tasmania and so the waves on the coast are powerful to watch. It makes you wonder about the motivation of the European settlers who came here when it was another world.
