40,000 to 150,000 year old Kauri timber has been exposed by the gum diggers and can be viewed in many of the gum holes. Information spots and an audio visual show describe the cataclysmic events which could have caused this destruction. Studies by international scientists on the kauri timber are described, depicting past and future global weather patterns. The site includes an authentic 100 year old gum field, recreated gum diggers village, gecko house and much more. Both Kauri Timber and Kauri Copal (Kauri Gum) crafts are sold onsite.
