more forgotten world tour

Okahukura was our starting point for the railcart ride.

This eucalyptus tree looked quite lonely.






The town of Maitere was our destination and turn-around point for the cars.

Maitere was where a brick-making factory was set up to make bricks that lined the tunnels.
When the tunnels were finished, the owner decided to start baking bread.

Forgotten World Adventures

We took the 5-tunnel rail tour last week and saw some wonderful scenery that
you wouldn't see from the highway. Here is some and there will be more later!

This is inside the longest tunnel (1.5k or .9 miles) we went through. The arch on the left is the largest of many openings where the workers could step out of the way of the trains.
