FWH - 5 - TANGARAKAU GORGE
Another stop on the route was at the Gorge, pretty with crystal clear running water, podocarp forest including beautiful Tree ferns.
The signposted boundary between Stratford and Ruapehu Districts is in the gorge which was mined in several locations for coal.
This is the last sight I have a photo of, we saw plenty of outstanding scenery on the drive!
