Arapuni

About 3 hours south of Auckland is a place called, “Arapuni”. There is a dam this is all part of the Waikato river and here are some pictures of this place.

There were people in this place that stopped for coffee or ice cream. The woman that sold the coffee was from Germany. She made wonderful coffee and told us that she now lives in the country in the local area and loves where she lives.

Lake Arapuni is part of the Waikato area and is further south than Lake Kiripiro.

Knowing where to go in the right direction is very important.

This dam was in operation at the moment. There are no traces of water on the dam wall.

The Waikato River has many dams and New Zealand relies on hydro electric power. Clean green energy and far much safer than nuclear power plants. We also have thermal power and wind power.

Thanks Elenka. I wanted to take a photo of it from the ground.

#7 A road that is private that goes to an unknown destination

I thought it rather pretty but not a good idea to go there by yourself.

All the dams seem to have a red tape over the water and I don't know why.

The Waikato running south

You can see some of the wire.
