Oakura Beach

Today we left Oakura Beach and our little beach cabin and headed up to Te Kuiti.

The owners of the Oakura Beach Holiday Park, Jan & Al were wonderful, even gave us a fresh feed of fish caught that afternoon for our dinner.
The weather was absolutely perfect.

The New Plymouth Power Station was a 600 MW thermal power station at New Plymouth. Located at Port Taranaki, it was dual fuelled on natural gas and fuel oil. Constructed at a time of major hydro and HV transmission developments, it was New Zealand's first big thermal power station planned for continuous base load operation. Now Decommissioned.
