We have been out wandering about the countryside again. We started
along the Forgotten World Highway and drove south to the Whanganui River Road.
There were a few specific places I wanted to visit--and I will share them with you--but half the fun is getting there.
Tongariro and Mt Ngauruhoe (otherwise, known as Mt Doom!).
We saw lots of wild goats--but only after Hubby commented that we hadn't seen any yet!
Wild turkeys.
Gas warning sign along the way.
This is one of many cute lambs that we saw.
That's kilometers per hour, not miles (about 15.5 miles).
This little lost guy had his duck friend to keep him company.

Aww, sweet cow and duck. the goats frolicking in the distance is especially amusing considering what hubby said. Love the photo and LOTR reference.
NZ place names never case to stagger me. How on earth do you know how to pronounce them. Love your photos especially the cute little lamb and the snow covered mountains.
Beautiful scenic beauty, nice captured specially little lamb and volcano mountain.

Thanks for taking us along on your drive. I love the name "forgotten world highway"
What a fun trip with so much to photograph along the way! Loved the shot of the wee lamb & the turkey & what a breathtaking view across to the snow capped peaks!
New Zealand is at the top of my must-visit list. Your photos make me want to pack a bag and take off right now!
That lamb looks adorable, and your picture of "Mt Doom" is great as well.
Thanks for sharing!
What a stunning view! I love the duck and the cow, so sweet!
That shot with the snow covered mountains in the distant is stunning! We will be in New Zealand in a few months time (probably January/February time) and am so looking forward to driving around seeing the wildlife. Thanks for the post! Love C and D x
I do want to visit New Zealand some day! Sigh. Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos..I don't know what is cuter, the goats or the lambs?
Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
Such wonderful pictures! I would love to go to New Zealand someday!
What an incredible journey with so much to see. You wouldn't want to take those bends at any speed for fear of your life or the animals you might hit, one for taking in the scenery and enjoying the experience.
That does look like a wonderful adventure. So glad you are able to share it with us. Is there anything cuter than a lamb?
Amazing photos. I love the Mt Doom one. What a wonderful place to explore
Thank you for linking up
I love these photo's and the name of the road is wonderful, luckily someone remembered it was there! #MySundayPhoto
Wow so much to see and the scenery is just stunning. I'd love to go there one day to just explore it all!
64 km of winding roads . . . tiring, but beautiful.
Love that photo of the mountain - it's stunning!
Forgotten Highway sounds so mysterious. Of course, it is Spring in your part of the world the lambs do look very cute indeed. I can't believe the amount of wild animals you have there, no wonder you have to drive slowly. Great pictures xx
Looks like a lovely park! I was just wondering last week on our vacation whether other countries had National Parks like we do, so thanks for sharing yours! And I had no idea that there were wild turkeys in NZ - I thought they were strictly a North American native.
