Remind me again how green the center of the North Island is around Lake Taupo. Of course it's green in the coastal regions. The area between Queensland and Mt Cook on the South Island is pretty arid as well. Its obvious from historical records that clear-cutting the native forests in New Zealand led to a much drier climate than existed when the forests were present. I don't think most New Zealand residents realize how much forest was lost prior to their lifetime. The few native forest areas which remain used to cover almost the entire country. Many recently planted "forest areas" look more like pencil farms than forests. The Kauri pine forests of New Zealand supplied the wood to rebuild San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake. The forests were replaced with sheep paddocks. During the same era many forests in the American Midwest were eliminated completely through clear-cutting. If you want to see huge lush verdant forests in that neighborhood, you'll have to visit Tasmania. .
