Totally by accident, this happened, I woke up, and felt like going for a drive…
I drove, and drove, and drove and… well, you get the idea….
This is my transport 🙂 YAY, love my Toyota Surf 4×4.
Huntly Bridge – about an hour south of Auckland.
Tirau – A Little Town….
Imagine that, a church co-operating with people… ha!
The Good Tin Shepherd, with this Good Tin Dog
The Good Tin Sheep to go with the above.
A Clock Shop
Some grassy hill thing with a tree..
Next Stop – TOKOROA (yes I came from the bit at the top that says Auckland)
A quick stop at Tokoroa, not much to see, see…
The Road Is Long…..
Next Stop – TAUPO – Middle of the North Island of New Zealand.
Had Lunch, saw some things, took some pictures, got bored, left.
Hydro Electric Lake for power generation at Taupo. The Generation plant is under ground. Neat.
A local of Taupo, well, a Lama.. near enough to a local. 🙂
Thermal Power Generation and Heating
The Mighty Huka Falls River
Me driving, Leaving Taupo on my way to Napier
My GPS telling me I should get ready to turn RIGHT in .. 98.9Km ??? What The ?? Come on, I know I’m dumb, but do I really need THAT much forward notice of a pending Right Hand Turn ?
The Road goes on.. and on.. and on…with forestry industry on the left and right
A cool looking waterfall in the middle of nowhere…
Then finally… NAPI
ER – Gawds, what a long drive… Here I stay the night :)
Napier’s Shipping Port
Where the Trees turn into Logs, turn into Wood, get shipped away…

My little camera doesn’t do the Huka Falls any justice.
But yeah, it’s not bad, and I like the last one too 🙂
Thankyou 🙂
