moving to the land of the long white cloud? sweet one.
i'm not sure about caapi and mimosa over there, but there are certainly a wealth of acacia species. i spent some time searching for, and performing extractions on several species when i spent some time there- (9 months). although i didn't have much luck, i think i may have been closing in, if i had more time...
acacia grow like weeds, and many species are classified as invasive. i was told that acacia is all they use in australia--where many varieties originated.
we loved nz, and hope to return someday

if you like reggae and electronic music, be sure to check out canaan downs between motueka and takaka in golden bay. takaka hill is the magical site of several very special festivals thru the year.
canaan downs for new years=lush.
