Hi All,

We are thinking of doing the North Island net year, and I came across this place online that I would really like to visit. It is at Mount Taranaki, however I don't know which walking track it is located on. I know a few of us here have been to NZ and have prolly seen it before.

The picture is on the following website:

It has got Mount Taranaki in the background and a little lake in the foreground.

You could start by searching New Plymouth/Egmont through NZ's AA (Automobile Association, not that other!)...GOOGLE is a wonderful tool, easy to use - :nod:

The little lake is actually called a tarn. if you google Mount Taranaki Tarn, you will find out more or.. clicky (http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/taranaki/places/egmont-national-park/things-to-do/tracks/pouakai-circuit/http://).. and scroll down. Lots of tarns in Tassie, so I knew what to search for. :D

If you have time I would also do Lake Taupo and Huka Falls, then head down to Mt Ruapehu. Was there in July this year and loved it.

Thanks mate, yeah we're also looking at those areas too! So much to see and do!
