Pretty interesting – at low tide you can walk on these tree trunks that are 170 million years old (happy birthday to you). They are the remnants of the ancient podocarpaceae which grew in the then Gondwanaland which broke up to form the subcontinent Zealandia, which later became NZ. Makes you think about the passing of time and the insignificance of mankind. Ditto golf.
another comment that provoked mirth+ ..re golf of course – which I played (badly) when a schoolboy but not since . More folk die in uk playing golf than any other sport – dangerous game!
