With one week to go until the Hospice Taranaki News Photo Auction, I set off to New Plymouth a bit early to have a nosey around the mountain. Mt Egmont.

It’s a typical west coast beach complete with Black Sand and the wild water. The ruggedness is what makes it though.

I checked in and was given a park right behind the sandhill facing the beach but still protected from any wind that might come up. Great parking!

It’s one of those real old original Kiwi family parks with nice bright colours on slightly older cabins.

The ablution blocks are covered in murals… nicely done.

I went for a wander around the park and then along the beach. Lovely spot!
