Original Acrylic: "Waihohonu Hut, Mt Ruapehu"

This is the Old Waihohonu Hut on the Mt Ruapehu side of the Waihohonu Stream, which descends from Tama Lakes between Ruapehu and Mt Ngauruahoe.

The open pumice country that lies between the Hut and the Desert Road is a botanist's dream of small alpine plants.   Not only that - the plant groups are landscaped as if some great gardener had laid them out.   Just awesome.
