Formerly called Mt. Egmont, it is now called Mt. Taranaki. It is an active but quiescent volcano in the East of the North Island. It last erupted about 1854, and is the second highest mountain in the North Island. It is surrounded by very productive farmland. There are many walks up and around the mountain. Native tree ferns are in the foreground.

Tuatara are reptiles endemic to New Zealand. Although resembling most lizards, they are part of a distinct lineage, the order Rhynchocephalia. Their name derives from the Māori language, and means "peaks on the back". This one was at a wildlife sanctuary called Mount Bruce, in the Waiarapa.
