7 August - Wanganui

August 9th, 2006 - Posted by Alan Howard

I decided to do the photos the ‘normal way’. Even though the previous post presented the photos in a way that’s ‘agreeable’, I don’t like the fact that viewing the photos actually takes you away from this blog. So I’ll continue with how I’ve been doing them in the past. I’ll leave the previous entry there, but show the photos here as normal. :-)

We went for a walk along the river bank…



Then we climbed a 176-step water tower / lookout to see the view of Wanganui and take some photos…



This was the inside of the 176-step tower we climbed up to take the previous photos. Going down was so much easier than going up…


These two photos show part of the main street of Wanganui…



Some snow-covered mountains we saw on our wilderness drive…


A bridge over troubled waters… signs of recent flooding. As we left the place the next day, after torrential rains, I’m sure the water was back up to the top of the debris you can see in the photo…
