Te Waihou River Walkway is a short drive from Tirau and well worth seeing. If you don't fancy much of a walk, park your car in the car park at the Blue Spring end of the walk, and see the beautiful Blue Spring pool ~ the photo here is an accurate representation of the colours you see!
If you can manage it, do what we did, and park the car there, but get a ride to the other end of the walkway. The river walk is a beautiful 5 kilometers long, and by leaving a car at the other end, it saves you walking it twice. Having said that, it really is so pretty, that walking it twice wouldn't be such a bad thing!
For more pictures of this lovely walk, which takes you through farmland and bush and follows the river with its incredibly clear water the whole way, see my travelogue :-)

What corrugated iron can do for your town
For all the fuss and hullabuloo about Tirau, there's not a lot of it. Having said that, it's still worth a stop and you can easily wile away a few hours if you chance your arm in some of the art and...

Tirau - almost in the middle of nowhere
En route to Rotorua from Auckland (a bit over halfway), we happened across the little town of Tirau, population only 600. It was right on the highway and we decided it was worth stopping for, for a...
