I went to see AC/DC last month! Melanie stayed at home as she can't stand them :o)
As always I took a couple of photos (with Melanie's camera)
This was one of the fans - he borrowed the busker's guitar and started playing Highway to Hell
Queues to get in
Shihad - the support band
Whole lotta Rosie!
Longest guitar solo ever!
I found this when I was gardening the other day. I find them fascinating!
This is a female Wellington Weta - the big spike is an ovipositor.

Moorhens and their chicks

This was sitting on my towel one morning
Lunch stop :)
Red hot pokers and sunburnt sheep!
My kind of artwork - it's tea related!
Awesome views through the car windscreen
A photo stop on the Desert Road looking towards Mount Ruapehu

At the honey place near Taupo:
Serious driving face
Sculptures in Tokoroa
A random hydro power station somewhere
Looking North towards Lake Taupo on the way home
Panorama
On the road to Whakapapa ski village - the other side of Mount Ruapehu.
We drove up to the top - about 1600m higher than the road we started one! We both had a headache when we drove back down. When we got to the top the car smelled a bit like burning clutch!
The world famous Taihape gumboot
And the equally famous Ohakune carrot
And some sheep :)
Noodle had the best time ever! Here are some of her adventures:
A lunch stop on the way up - not interested in the locals!
Bit breezy on the Desert Road
Can I go in the car now please?
Swimming in the lake was great fun!
So was drying off
Ducks must be chased into the water
Pumice stones are great for playing fetch
Special Christmas dinner? yes please!
AND a new toy?
Wags
Dogs are not allowed on the furniture
Holidays are so exhausting!
In the car on the way home
We had a drive up to Rotorua and a wander around. I got kicked out of the iSite because I had Noodle with me. "We don't allow animals in here" he said!
Rotorua Museum
The Government Gardens
Steamy hot sulphurous pool!
The pohutakawa - New Zealand's Christmas tree:
It's weird seeing Christmas trees in the sun
We kept stopping to take photos with the other tourists at the Taupo scenic lookout
A very clear view of Mount Ruapehu
