Wairarapa in the Snow.
Last winter – it snowed in the Wairarapa.
This is not usual – we have quite a mediterranean climate here, and while we often find during winter that we can see snow on the peaks of the Tararua range – it does not generally snow on the flat. Last year it did.
And one of my crazy Kiwi friends and mentor, Trev, took the opportunity to tramp up into the hills and spend the night huddled in a sleeping bag. Nutter!
Here are the photos he took in the morning.

Interestingly enough during winter when we were driving into Wellington over the Rimataka hills one weekend, we were surprised to find lots of parked cars crammed into the rather narrow gaps on the side of the road. People were taking a day trip up to the summit to see and play in snow!
Once we reached the summit, the car park was packed to bursting, and overflowing down the other side. Quite bizarre! Although, it’s not often you see real snow on the ground in Wellington.
Kiwi’s – crazy bunch
