That one looks like it was helicoptered in, a thing that kiwis tend to
do a lot. There's a few of them around, usually less tidy and usually
in places so remote that the accumulation far below is washed away,
frozen and then washed away or naturally dispersed otherwise. They are
usually so remote that the organic input is minimal - we have one
national park near here where the number of licences issued for
walkers is calculated by the level of excrement that the environment
can sustain.
