07-26/12/2012 - photos
Participants: Tom Brennan, Rachel Grindlay
In December 2012, Rachel and I drove from Auckland to Wellington, doing a number of mostly shorter walks and other activities along the way. Here are the photos from that trip. To keep pages manageable, I have split the photos into pages
- Auckland - Rangitoto Island, One Tree Hill; Coromandel - Te Mata Creek,
- Coromandel - Sleeping God Canyon - a Kanangra-like canyon in the Kauaeranga Valley
- Coromandel - Cathedral Cove Kayaking, Te Pare Point Walk
- Coromandel - Pinnacles Walk, Karangahake Gorge
- Rotorua - Te Puia, Rainbow Springs
- Te Kuiti/Waitomo - Caving (including some canyon)
- Tongariro NP - Tongariro "Crossing" - a great day climbing two of the three major peaks in the park
- Tongariro NP - Taranaki Falls, Silica Rapids - two short walks in the park
- New Plymouth - Pukekura Park - the Festival of Lights
- Egmont NP - Pouakai Circuit - a three-day circuit walk with great views of Taranaki
- Wellington
If all that is too much, there is
- a summary page of photos with a cut down selection of shots
- a page of mostly scenery highlights
Rachel also has photos from the trip
