Its agricultural capabilities are very considerable; its forests yield excellent timber; and its mineral resources, though as yet but little developed and not very varied in character, form one of the country's most valuable assets.
Volcanoes, one of which, Ngauruhoe, the highest cone of Mount Tongariro, was in active eruption in 1909, and a volcanic belt marks the centre of the North Island.
In the North island also is the wonderland of the boiling geysers—said by geologists to be the oldest in the world, with the exception of those in Wyoming and Idaho—and the famous "Hot Lakes" and pools, which possess great curative virtue for all rheumatic and skin diseases.

 Tongariro National Park
When the weather cleared up we travelled back down to the Tongariro National Park.
We did not really have enough time to do any of the very appealing one day and multi-day walks (we would have needed crampons and ice axes!) so went on the Tama Lakes walk between the two big volcanos - including the real life Mount Doom (although Sauron was out at the time).
After that we had to drive to Christchurch, fast, so I could get my plane and fly home (all good things come to an end I suppose)
