Next we explored the geothermal wonderland that is Rotorua. Seeing a geyser come into life is a good introduction of what’s underneath the city. The Lady Knox Geyser erupts every day at 10.15am, with a bit of human intervention.

From then on it took a couple of minutes to bubble up.

And then burst into life.

Not a bad start to the tour. Certainly don’t see anything like this in Australia.
