Walking New Zealand Monthly Photo Contest

Above left: This photo was taken at the summit of Mount Pauanui, overlooking Pauanui beach/town and Tairua in the background. My partner is in this shot. The tramp up was more challenging than I remember as a kid! Photo by Jamie Fraser, Pukekohe. Below right: This is my six year old Richie and my seven year old Leah Hart heading down to Powell Hut. We did a walk up to see it just before new hut in construction started at end of November - it was in perfect weather. Photo by Julie MacLean, Palmerston North.
