"...this place had been made by a happy accident of rich volcanic soil and Niagara-like precipication; the result gave rain a new dimesion. Rain had helped build the superstructure of the forest, become part of its fabric and texture. Here it was the stuff of alchemy. An army of gardeners labouring for a hundred years could never have achieved anything so beautiful."
- Alexander Frater in Chasing the Monsoon
