Pretty Pictures from the Coppermine Road Tracks

I'm going to keep this short so that I can post lots of lovely photos for you all. This is a walk I've been wanting to do for a while. It lies on the far side of a range of mountains from where I live & work, but is relatively easy to drive to due to the Manuatu Gorge that runs through the mountain range. Apparently its the only gorge to run right through a mountain range in the world.

The majority of tracks in the New Zealand wilderness have been made by hunters and loggers, but, as seen in Taranaki, some have been created by miners. This track is another one of those, in an area that has small amounts of Copper. I will shortly add videos and pics with a short history of the place here, but for now here's lots of pretty pictures.
