Kerosene Creek

Taupo, Rotorua and their surrounds have all sorts of geothermally themed tourist attractions. Most of the ones we passed were fairly busy and probably not worth the entrance fee. Especially because we'd heard about a place that was pretty unknown and that didn't cost a cent. We turned off the motorway down an unsealed road named Kerosene Creek. No signs or indications that we'd arrived, but a short walk later we'd found what we were looking for. A natural hot water river, with waterfall and all. A quiet spot in the middle of nowhere, without tourists or people trying to sell you photographs of yourself. I wonder if it will stay that way?
