When Mount Tarawera erupted in 1886 the nearby Lake Rotomahana exploded to 20 times it’s original size and seven new craters were erupted forming Waimangu valley. 20 minutes down the road towards Rotorua we popped over to see what is was about. Quite an expensive trip for us as the boat trip round the Lake was full price, we only got locals rate on the 4km walk down the valley.
All sorts of pictures in this album as we walked down the easy trail. On the boat trip we sailed over the pink and white terraces that the Victorians used to visit, they are now under 60m of water.
