Off the beaten track..

A bit south of Rotorua, inland toward Waikete Valley and down a road that winds along the Paeroa Ranges you can find a little spot thats just off the beaten track.

The entrance required clambering past an electric fence, then the grass was deep and wet and within moments my shoes and pants were soaked. But this tiny thermal spot is home to the rare endangered “Prostrate Kanuka” and who could miss that. ( row of laughing emoji’s)

After only 5 minutes walk you are greeted with bubbling mud and steam – it doesn’t get any better than that. A wee adventure and then back to plant the tomatoes.
