In this approximately one-hour downhill walk we will obtain a perspective on several native plants from the ubiquitous, such as our well-known cabbage tree, kōwhai and podocarps, to lesser-knowns such as shrubby toroaro/mingimingi, Bartlett's rātā, Three Kings kaikōmako and Three Kings vine/akapukaea. We will also discuss the phenomenon of species radiation exemplified by Hebe and Kauri.
Meet at the Cable Car Entrance Lookout, Upland Road, Kelburn.
