Rotorura offered a great day out to see the native animals of NZ. The main attraction was the Kiwis, and for a few dollars extra, we were shown eggs being incubated and then where they hatched. There were some rather frisky ones that wre a few weeks old, cared for. We then returned after 8.30pm and saw a few others as they were waking up. During the day, the woodland walk offered an insight into the varied fauna not to mention the flora.
We also went around a nearby park in the centre of Rotorura and saw steam rising from hols in the rocks. A bizarre sight.
After we had our second visit to see the Kiwis, we stumbled on a street market selling all manner of foods. Found a guy selling cornish pasties.... the real thing. He had moved over here 5 years ago and was making a go of it. "hard work and its expensive" he told me, but well worth it.
food for thought.
