Lake Rotorangi

Lake Rotorangi - our first spot...till we sussed out a better one

hairpin bend on the road out of Lake Rotorangi - luckily nothing else on the road

We are now in south Taranaki. We have been staying at some lakes and doing some bush walks. These photos are from Lake Rotorangi - accessed down narrow steep gorge with hairpin bends, then 11 kms of gravel road. No-one there but us. Amazing this morning watching mist rise off the lake.  We are now parked in Hawera and this afternoon visited a predetor-fenced lake reserve, Lake Rotokare.  The track didn't have many lake views though, it was all in bush and wetlands.
