The old gold mine in the Karori Sanctuary. We were not in time to go down the shaft :(.

The conservationists are trying to re-introduce Kiwi and Weka birds, Tautara reptiles and many more back into a natural habitat, free off predators. Some of the predators are domestic cats, rabbits, rats, etc.

This indicates how high these predators can jump to try and scale a fence.

A predator fence was constructed around the sanctuary, designed to keep all of these pest out. It runs for 8.6 km around the sanctuary.

These 2 guys start running when the wind blows. The kiwi is on the right.
