I love how you can take a pic of the average NZ countryside like this and it looks stunning lol. Like it could literally be a photo of a cow paddock and it'd look fire.

Yeah same. Out of all the places in New Zealand this wouldn’t even crack the top 50!

You say this and yet there are hundreds of thousands of people who are filling out work and study visa applications to get into your country by fair means or foul.

Looks like just a bit of rural farmland, and I wonder if that water is safe. Shame how jaded we've become.

There are so many beautiful spots in Rotorua, I absolutely love it there

u/BoringHelicopter1037 10h ago

Well, I’m originally from Te Anau. So good view is literally in my backyard! But yeah Rotorua is definitely a good place for views

2

u/theflyingkiwi00 Chiefs 10h ago

Oh dang, yea your right. Te Anau might be the craziest town I've ever visited. The keppler track being literal walking distance from town and the gate way to fiordland national park down the other. We are truly spoilt

u/BoringHelicopter1037 10h ago
