balhannah Says: Dawson Falls is a nice waterfall located on the slopes of Mt. Taranaki, in Egmont National Park.The drive here was really nice, passing through lots of forest. We stopped at the Visitor's centre and had a look at the information and displays, one of them the old Syme Hut,...
balhannah Says: The Clock Tower was tall and imposing and you could climb up the inside of the Tower. NOW, for some unknown reason, you can't do this, still go and have a look at it though!There is an old Hotel located nearby.
balhannah Says: Pukekura Park is a large park of 128 acres located in the heart of New Plymouth city. It was a very nice park to walk around seeing different plants, some nice formal gardens and a lake with some very hungry Ducks! Lucky we had some stale bread to feed them, I had a great...

Peggy Gordons: Nightlife New Plymouth
Jewelzsun Says: Peggy Gordons is run by Bertie - a real character. Your typical Irish Bar, with live bands, quiz nights and general good Irish atmosphere. Great place to go to meet some locals who are down to earth. Join the street party on St Patricks Day - always attended by the locals...

cnango Says: These signs are all over New Zealand warning you that there is a train crossing ahead and to use caution when crossing the tracks. it looks like the trains on the Monopoly Game board!
cnango Says: In the USA we have Woodsy Owl who says: Give a Hoot, Don't Polute ! Smokey the Bear warns against playing with matches and says: Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires! Well in New Zealand they have a cow named Sam who warns you to slow down.
THE FORGOTTEN WORLD HIGHWAY - 1
balhannah Says: We drove the 'Forgotten World Highway" from Stratford, near New Plymouth, to Taumarunui.One thing I must tell you, is to allow plenty of time, it was 155kms, but took us 3.5hours for the journey.The Highway follows ancient Maori trade routes and pioneering farm tracks,...
balhannah Says: 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...
balhannah Says: Whangamomona [Historic place] - Valley of Plenty- Settled in 1895.It was hard to imagine that back in those days, Whangamomona was a frontier town of 300 residents, providing strong service links to the farmers trying to make a living from the nearby bushThe town experienced...
balhannah Says: To reach the Makahu tunnel, we had to do a slight detour, turning into Brewer road, and travelling a short distance to reach it. This Tunnel was quite interesting. It is old, it is in good condition, and it is different to modern tunnels of today. When we saw the entrance...
balhannah Says: The Strathmore Saddle, and this was our 1st stop on the route, and it happened to be the first of four natural saddles along the Highway. The views were fantastic, could see Mt Taranaki, Tongariro, Ruapehu and Ngaurahoe Mountains. The saddle lies close to a fault line and...
