Kauri Trees in the Coromandel: A Connection to Driving Creek

Kauri Trees in the Coromandel: A Connection to Driving Creek

Barry Brickell set out in the 1970s to return the Driving Creek land to pre-colonial times by replanting the 24-hectare property with over 27,000 native species including Rimu, Totara, Matai, Miro, Kowhai and Kauri. "The whole district, including my block, had undergone 150 or so years of savage exploitation that was, in fact, ecological plunder." Driving Creek is nestled in the heart of The Coromandel and is more than just a tourism operation. It's a testament to the late Barry Brickell's pioneering spirit and unwavering dedication to art, engineering, and conservation.
