New Zealand most famous Tree: that Wanaka Tree

#traveldiaries #newzealand That wanaka tree is a 100 year old willow tree that stands alone in the Lake Wanaka at Roys Bay. It is the most photographed tree in New Zealand and has drawn visitors from all over the world to Wanaka town. The origin of the tree is pretty interesting. The tree started off more than 80 years ago with just a branch from a nearby willow serving as a fencepost. However, this branch took root and grow to the tree we see today. It is a scene or resilience. You may spot ducks in the lake and pretty yellow flowers nearby on the shore which make the entire place super beautiful. It is heard that the best time to view is during sunset. Highly recommended attraction!
