The dodgy weather around the taranaki area really put pay to any boogie boarding or golf. We did get in a few other sites however. A visit to Tangiwai a drive drive around to New Plymouth and around surf highway 45. Huka Jet, Waiouru Army Museum. Missed seeing the tornadoes but did see some of the distruction the day after. For those who don't know 153 people died at Tangiwai Christmas Eve 1953, after the crater lake erupted on Mount Ruapehu with the laver flow took out the rail bridge, which sent the train carrering into the swollen river.
The other pic is at Te Kuiti the home of David Fagan - shearing legend.
