The journey to the dam is always interesting with the wildlife and scenery
along the winding dirt roads. I include this map so you can see how far
from the ocean it is among the hills of South Taranaki.
The thing I find most interesting is the parking lot/boat launch at the dam.
It is covered with seashells! When I google about the shells, the first entry is my 2015
post on the same place, but no other discussion of them. I guess the volcanic activity
on the north island has something to do with it. But it still boggles my mind!
I imagine I will always be excited when we visit this place :)
