Whangaehu River and Rangipo Desert Jan 2010







Ketatahi Springs from Highway 46















Eastern Mt Ruapehu from
Tukino Ski Village













Tukino Ski Lodge
















Looking east to the Kaimanawa Forest













The Lahar warning system













Harry Keys


















The system is run by solar panels


















Ruapehu and the begining of Whangaehu River
coming from the Crater Lake



















Snow Gentian











Whangaehu River heading towards the
Desert Road before it turns and heads
thro Tangiwai













Fasinating Rocks















Coming down thro the jumble of rocks






























The Whangaehu River was
runing swiftly













Come on Dad lets push this rock over the edge














It was to big















Walking down the ash
















A swing bridge
















Lahar warning






































Standing on the hugh bund
that was build to stop the Whangaehu River
changing course and running into Lake Taupo
