Tongariro National Park

Arrived in Ohakune late afternoon and enjoyed bbq steak and Greek salad for dinner. :-)
The following morning was 'Waitangi Day' (NZ's National Day- celebrating the treaty of Waitangi- 6th Feb 1840) so much of Ohakune was closed!
Luckily for us we had planned to do a walk.
We drove up the Ohakune Mountain Road through Tongariro National Park and did a 1 and a half hour walk to the Waitonga Falls, taking in spectacular views of the southern face of Mount Ruapehu.
A brilliant morning.
Driving back through the National Park we set off for Wanganui.
Found a lovely Irish cafe for 'afternoon tea' before settling in at our campsite...
