It sits at the heart of old kauri-gum country, where diggers once probed the swamps for the fossil gum that became paint and varnish before the gum trade faded last century. Today it is known for the Ancient Kauri Kingdom, where a staircase is carved inside a single ancient swamp-kauri log tens of thousands of years old, and for the nearby Gumdiggers Park.
