Just north of Taupo is a geothermal area known as the Craters of the Moon. There are many active craters there which can be viewed by walking around the track, which takes about 45 minutes to complete.
I usually write a blog post about once a week. The latest post can be viewed here: Second-Handers: They are the second-handers. (posted 2025-10-31 at 18:55:25). I do podcasts too!. You can listen to my latest podcast, here: OJB's Podcast 2025-10-08 Suicidal Empathy: We need empathy, but not suicidal empathy..
