Thread: Road Trip in the North Island

Excellent read the Dundee's

Heres some photos of our road trip,awesome holiday,Taupo.Whitianga,Scribes dogs,Pengi and dundee and sean on beach.

Day 6 Taranaki to Tauramanui
It was still bucketing down when we left the Naki and headed over the "Forgotten World Highway"

The rain was that heavy that slips were falling across the road.

A few goats were seen on the road despite the torrential rain.Water was coming off the hills causing waterfalls throughout the journey.

The bush and ferns were a true picture with the water everywhere.


It was a fair mission dodging slips and debri across the roads.Even the ute was telling us we need a break when we got to Tauramanui.

Last night in a motel.

The Dundee totem pole. Very traditional.

Ok holiday ends saw some great country and met up with some good bastards.

We were planning on going through the National Park to Wanganui then Bulls to see the inlaws.
All roads closed Wanganui way so we had to drive from Tauramanui to Turangi then back to Taupo to get on the Napier Taupo Highway.
Over the Kaweka range we stopped at the Waipunga Falls

It was a beautiful look out but a disgrace to see that much rubbish in the area. Keep NZ clean yeah right bastards must use the look out for toiletry stops and too biff there take away rubbish away.
Over the range at about 1430hrs we stopped at Tarawera cafe and had a feed.
I bought a new water bottle and when I opened the back door of the ute all my lion brown cans fell out of the box.
Mrs D and Sean erupted with laughter
Two cans were punctured and we were a long way from home so I took them back to the cafe and left them on a table,spewing a mist of the brown bombers
Some nice trophies in that place.

Get back home and holey shit,away for a week and the drought is broken

Great trip and story Dundee, almost feel like iv'e done it myself... OK minus the large volumes of Lion Down.
