Mangakino, South Waikato 
After a long road trip from the Thames coast
Lifted from the transporter and swung out over the water
...positioned before lowering into the lake beside the wharf
Welcomed by the local Iwi
The paddle bites into the waters of the lake
Just a little of the vista now easily viewed in the comfort and grandier of this 1900's water craft.
Under the road bridge and the work men building the swing bridge for the new walkway
The paddle boat is available for Lake tours and hire groups, another must see in this area. Visit Mangakino, you'll be glad you did. A camper van safari over nighting at Dog Island, Mangakino took their touring out onto the Lake by boarding the Paddle Boat Otunui
In the capable hands of Skipper Peter Koole getting a close up of vista of the lake and the sourrounding shores.
...and dancing the night away on the return journey.
This trip was a short trip up to the dam, as requested, come again soon and enjoy the amazing rock formations up the river at the other end of this lake. |
