Tongariro & Ruapehu·Not graded

Gourmet Weekend – Ketetahi Springs

October 1981 · Tongariro National Park (Ketetahi Springs)

Text taken from the club newsletter.

19 members and visitors travelled by clapped out combi (9 totally clapped in Paraparaumu on way home) to Ketetahi. The weather was abominable, the Springs relaxing (especially after a swig of champers), the company great, and the food formidable (French meaning).
