Hi Robert, Glad you found the museum to start with, Maungatapere is not the most well-known centre to find. The museum is certainly worth the effort of the travel. So much to take in is correct, we should advertise and recommend a 2 day visit for those who really love and know their mechanical and historical stuff. 10/10 is a good starting score- thank you for that. Hopefully, we'll see you again in the future, we'll try to keep up the standard. Cheers Mel...
