These are a few more shots of the countryside.
I didn't know that the area of Pukengahu existed until I looked for the name of the road we took the other day. It seems that most of Taranaki (and I assume the rest of the country, too) has Maori name for the spaces between towns.
For example, I discovered that we give directions to the house from one town and get mail delivery from another, yet we live in a Maori named region for voting purposes. Who knew...
we are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful country :)
