from Coromind · host Coromind
If you look out at Great Mercury Island from Black Jack Road, you can see the full length of the island from north to south. On the southern half, there is a big pine tree plantation which is now over 40 years old, planted during the Muldoon ‘Think Big’ era on land which is considered very poor farmland. The pine forest became economically and environmentally difficult to harvest.www.coromind.nz
