Taketakerau

This was very impressive burial tree, protected by a tapu and some great guards on each side of it. The birds were amazing too. I tried taking a video of it to capture some of the bird sounds, but as soon as we (humans) shushed up for the video, the birds shushed up too. As soon as we started talking again, the birds started squawking and joined in the conversation again. I guess they were trying to listen during the video as well. Oh well. No bird sounds for the video, but at least you can see the cool statues on either side protecting the ancestral burial bones.
