This photo was taken on the track from the Flora carpark to the Arthur Hut, not far from the last bit of the track that goes up to the hut. The straggly looking tree in the foreground is the mountain neinei (Dracophyllum traversii) and the trees covering the nearby ridge are beech, and above the treeline the marble that makes up Mt Arthur is exposed. It is, appropriately, known as “Arthur Marble”.
