I went with five others to cut tracks through black berry so sprayers could get in on the Western edge of the Mountain. Had a great day. It was my first trip to Maungatautari. For those that do not know, this mountain has had a pest proof fence built around it and all the pests removed.

This is a flax like lily that grows 2 metre high and, unlike flax, is palletable to cattle. This has caused it to become quite rare in the Waikato although I understand it is quite easy to propogate from seed. I took several seed heads for this purpose. Photo attached.
