Persuasive paragraph about the Kaimai Mamaku forest park.

Have you ever wanted to go to the Mamaku forest park up in the Kaimais? The Kaimai forest park is a great example of the New Zealand native bush. The Kauri trees that are all around the forest have survived for years of being logged by humans, or abuse from vandals, and now they are under attack with a fungus that is called Phytophthora taxon Agathis. This forest is a MUST see thing in NZ with the amazing trees and everything that surrounds you. There are loads of well known tracks to choose from in New Zealand, but if you are looking for somewhere to enjoy your relaxing atmosphere without bumping to other walkers all through the day, this is an exceptional location for you to come for your holiday or even just a day. This park has an amazing history that has been come from nature and humans over the years making a unique natural landscape that provides a hiking trip to remember. What could be better than this??? This forest covers an area of 37,000 hectares and is one of the lesser known, or least visited, ranges in New Zealand.
