Wandering round Wangi
A quick pit stop for us between the Tongariro National Park and Wellington, Wanganui was also the stomping ground for a certain Mr Brad Young (sorry, non AHS followers, you'll have no idea who he is) during his time in New Zealand. It's quite a pretty, relatively small city with quite possibly the best children's playground we've ever seen. It's …
A real cosy Kiwi retreat!
What a most scenic drive we had coming down from the Tongariro National Park to Whanganui over the SH4. We are leaving the highlands behind, as well as the center of the northern island, and are now heading towards sea level. Starting in Ohakune after our hike, weather was changing and rain came in.

Found the Info Centre and learnt what you could achieve in good weather! Oh well, I drove down to Lake Rotoaira to a sacred ...
Turangi to Wanganui
... about the church. It had once included an orphanage. There were several Maori settlements along the river that I could visit. The carvings on the buildings were very ornate. Another stop was a restored grist mill and cabin. I thought it interesting that it was unlocked and I was welcome to explore as much of it as I wanted. Home for the night is Wanganui (not sure why they dropped the "h" from the name of the river). I'm in the Tamara Hostel. It's ...
