Jan 2025 - Kaimanawa Wall NZ
Directions to get to "The Wall"
You would expect such a unique feature to be well advertised and signposted but no, it's as if the "powers-to-be" would rather no have a lot of people visiting The Wall, what could be their most likely devious reason?
Visual and text instructions to get to The Wall. Allow yourself a minimum 3-hour round trip from Taupo - MINIMUM.
Wear good footwear so you can clamber around and do a bit of fossicking & photographing.
As you may see was in my 4wd ute, if anything less is no problem in the finer months, if going after a lot of rain then just don't go in your Granny's little e.v
