Only got canned on the release of the coroners report into the 2018 crash.

Waikato and Horizons Regional Councils refuse to cooperate on an East-West connection between Waimarino and Turangi...as Ruapehu District Council ignores the need for connections along SH4...

It's amazing that no pedestrians have been skittled let alone killed along Mangatepopo Rd -the entrance to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing - on dry dusty days where visibility is down to metres, and with high vehicle traffic numbers...

Post-fire images along the "ditch track" between Whakapapa Village and the main Tongariro Alpine Crossing trail at Mangatepopo.

The challenge is to prevent upwind weeds dispensing seeds (dandelion, gorse, broom, blackberry) into the burn area...

The scene is the unoriginally-named Old Swimming Pool in Owhango.

You can see the dam where they close off the stream to build up water in the pool.

Dates back to pre-WW2 when it was one of the few pools between Taumarunui and Taihape.

Still gets dammed every summer...

Guilty.

If I am working but it's slow I will go get one just for something to do.

I will often/usually get one if I am driving through Waimarino if The Station Cafe is open...

Hey! Team Ruapehu!!!

I just noticed on The Station FB page, they only have one review and that's from me last week....

They've been open in Waimarino Village for months now and all the feedback I've heard has been awesome...

From Great Walk to great woe – the rise and fall of a Ruapehu shortcut More than 70 years ago, Alex Salmon singlehandedly built a walking track in Tongariro National Park. Now, it might finally be restored to its former glory.

Well-written article on a little know piece of Ruapehu history.

Before the government invents any new Great Walks, it needs to properly resource and maintain the ones it's already got.
