We've moved on into the centre of the north island now, to the Tongariro National Park. This is the group of volcanoes used in filming Lord of the Rings. They are still active, the most recent eruption from the snow capped one on the right was only 2 years ago. We are quite high on the island's central plateau here, so consequently it's very cold. Camping wasn't much fun, (ice on the cars in the morning) but we survived. All very excited at the scenery, as it is such a dramatic contrast to where we've just come from.
