I had never seen a tea tree before,
This should be one for "Torque" or "Triumph" magazine (or something). Here's the bike, parked at Waipoua Forest, where some of the oldest trees on the planet can be seen.
This looks just like a California Poppy and I found it just south of Thames...
Oh yeah! Here's a good one of the Tower in Auckland! That's as close as I got to it, BTW. I was having too much fun touring around and seeing the sites on the North Island, that I never got any closer than this. Oh well, I guess I've gotta go back now.
