Anyway, getting the bus back to Wanganui I caught these photos of Mt Ruepehu which I thought I'd share with you. There are 3 impressive volcanoes on the North Island. I'm almost an expert on these because I climbed them as a geology student at Macquarie University. This I think is Ruepehu, the other big ones are Tongariro (nearby), Mt Egmont (near New Plymouth) and Mt Tawawera. Mt Tawawera is like the kiddies favourite because you can run or 'ski' down to the crater floor. A lot of fun given that you cannot see where you're going because of the fog.
