Richard LittauerToday's Wikipedia page is a lovely flower that I really like to see in the wild, pikiarero or Forster's Clematis. It's long creamy flowers always make me feel peaceful and soft.

Julian OliverWoke up here again today, a deep tissue off-grid massage. Heard a brown Kiwi (endangered incredible flightless bird species) call out in the night. A big sound, reverberating in the mountain valley. Morning, I met a Ruru (named 'Morepork' by European settlers) shortly after dawn. We chatted for a good 5 mins.Big bushpigs (invasive, often dangerous introduced species) were munching on rainforest roots near the tent, fighting each other nearby. Had to scare them off to get some sleep. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aotearoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aotearoa</a>
