Rain forest, interior of the Coromandel Peninsula.

The Coromandel Peninsula lies in the North Island of New Zealand. It extends 85 kilometres north from the western end of the Bay of Plenty, forming a natural barrier to protect the Hauraki Gulf and the Firth of Thames in the west from the Pacific Ocean to the east. Hilly, forested and rugged, it is a popular holiday destination. The area is also popular with alternative lifestylers.
