Tussock Grassland - Grasbueschel Gruenland?

Context:

Tongariro National Park attracts visitors either to walk over the many tracks around the mountains during the summer or to ski the snow clad slopes in winter. Kaimanawa Forest Park on the eastern boundary of the conservancy is a vast (77,348 hectares) largely unmodified expanse of native forest, shrublands and tussock grasslands and is a mecca for hunters. Lake Taupo and its tributaries is recognised worldwide for the quality of its trout fishing.
