|
| The famous Ohakune Carrot soon to be painted black for the Rugby World Cup... |
|
Ratana surrounded by snow and this was only the first snowfall to hit Raetihi... |
|
|
| |
|

 |
|
 |
|
|
| View of Mt Ruapehu from the hilltops if Raetihi... |
|
And then came stunning sunsets... |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
| The journey from Raetihi to Ohakune was magical but a little slippery... |
|
And more snow came down... |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
| Roads were closed... |
|
Cars were colder than usual... |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
| Some of our furry friends didn't mind the snow at all... |
|
Others weren't so impressed... |

 |
|
|
| Entrance to Ohakune... |
|
Slowly melting away... |
