Taupo Museum. An exhibition of New Zealand paintings offering an artistic ‘snapshot’ of early New Zealand, with an emphasis on the volcanic plateau. Curated by Auckland Art Dealers, Ferner Galleries, this exhibition of more than 60 historic paintings will be a major feature of ERUPT! Lake Taupo Festival in May 2008. During the 19th century, the wealth of ‘undiscovered’ vistas throughout New Zealand captured the eye of visiting artists. Their renditions have endowed this country with an artistic heritage for future generations to enjoy, and in some instances, their views are the only remaining witness to our past. All paintings are for sale.

Over summer the crew at Epic Events has been out breathing new life into the old classic trails. For 2008 we are on a mission to inject more hills into all our rides. Not huge hill climbs that go forever, just some good rolling climbs and drops combined with turns to get that flowing roller coaster sensation.
