Chateau Tongariro, National Park, Central North Island, travel poster, circa 1932.
Up for some volcanic activity, some winter sport?
Why not check into the Chateau Tongariro at National Park, in the central North Island for some seismic, vog and other volcanic fun? See the three mountains, active volcanoes: Mt Tongariro, Mt Ruapehu (ejects frequent lahars), and Mt Ngauruhoe, which last erupted in 1975. Three stalwarts of the Pacific Ring of Fire, get a front seat view.
"Best reached by rail" in 1932...

I'll only go if you can guarantee that all the female guests will be wearing those cloche hats and fur-trimmed coats while the (hot and cold running ) maids will be adorned in those black dresses with lace aprons (with matching lace hat) and copious trays bearing rich baked goodies and gigantic pots of tea at 10am and 4pm.
Otherwise I'm afraid it's just not on :P
somehow, Jayne, I just don't think you're going to be catching that 6 am Daylight Express out of Auckland...
