The hidden Taranaki treasures...

Facebook | Website
So. There is a bit of a back story to these round boulders at Tongaporutu.
As the title suggests they are hidden from sight from any casual wanderer. To actually make your way down the coastline to where these one's are it definitely must be a low tide otherwise they are covered by the waves. Consequently you need to plan your hunt for the lowest tide of the year, at sunset, with no storms happening and after all that you are still at the mercy of the shifting sand from all the tidal action which may have covered them over anyway.
Thats a lot of duck's to get in a row and it's taken a few years to get them to line up perfectly as they did last week. The conditions could not have more perfect. No wind. Flat calm sea and golden sunset with a snow cap on Mount Taranaki. Perfect...
