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 :)

Winter Garden Expedition
A few months ago, I went to the local gardens, called The Winter Gardens (yes it was winter).
I swear, these are REAL plants.
All these images were taken on a Nokia N96 cell phone camera.
Night time adventures
This is an old building in town buy one of my favourite Asian food courts… dusk was just approaching. looks like all that holds this building together now is paint..
I saw, what I believe to be an unsuccessful attempt at jumping out a window….
Our colourful communications tower, Sky City Casino
The Sky Tower again, from the base, looking up to the 220m lookout deck
That’s all, until i work out how to make nighttime images less grainy.. damn digital cameras.
I want my 35mm back again 😦
(w)Hole lot of building ?
I don’t really understand companies some times…
here is an example of a large construction company who had a rock quarry and decided to turn it into a little housing development… personally, I think one really good long hard rain will teach them a lession about building houses in deep holes.. you can see the housing in the distant middle-left.
A close-up of the housing..
Onehunga – suburb
An Island…
Sunset over the Ranges.
