Webisode 9 - CYOJ New Zealand: A Lord of the Rings Pilgrimage
Kaitoke Regional Park in the Upper Hutt region of Wellington was the chosen location for the Rivendell scenes in the LOTR films. CYOJ hosts, Camille and Agnes, learn, however, that many sets built and scenes filmed were never used, and out of 900 hours of footage taken at Kaitoke (aka Rivendell), only about 30 minutes actually made it onto the final cuts of the films! (Thanks again to our Flat Earth tour guide, Tim!)

Filming Location | Lord of the Rings | Rivendell Scenes | New Zealand | NZ
Filming location for the Lord of the Rings Rivendell Scenes. The Rivendell scenes were filmed in the Kaitoke Regional Park, in about the year 2000. Large sets were constructed in the native New Zealand forest, and were removed after filming. This is a walk-though of what remains of the filmset.
This walk-through of the Rivendell filming location ,was filmed in 2015 on location in the Kaitoke Regional Park. Historic Lord of the Rings set construction photos were shot during the construction of the Rivendell Film Set in 2000.
The quality of the video isn't as good as it could be, as it was shot using a mobile phone camera.

6. Dreamy campsite in Marlborough Sounds + hiking in Nelson Lakes National Park | WHV New Zealand
In this episode, I went to my favorite part of NZ (so far) : the Marlborough Sounds. The Sounds are so pretty and I only got to see a little part of it but I really loved it. Also I met some people that told me that I HAD to go to a campsite : always listen to recommendations like that bc it was the best campsite ever lol.
Then I drove down to Nelson Lakes where I spent a couple days hiking and chilling by the lake before it started raining !
A wholesome few days :)

Tangiwai Railway Disaster Memorial Unveiled 1989
(New Zealand) This story is taken from TVNZ's 'Holmes Show' and is about the dedication of a new memorial at the Tangiwai disaster site some 35 years after the 1953 tragedy. The reporter is John Hudson.
The official Tangiwai National Memorial, was unveiled at Karori Cemetery (Wellington) on 26 March 1957. Here, are buried the bodies of 16 people, including eight whose remains were never identified.
Over the years it was felt by many, that as time moved on, the disaster that took 151 lives was being forgotten. These concerns were eventually addressed with the dedication of a memorial at the actual disaster site in June 1989.
This memorial forms the centre piece of a popular motorists 'rest area' alongside Highway 49. This rest area became a major focal point after the 2007 lahar which brought the1953 event into the public mind again.
With 22 people who's bodies were never recovered, the disaster site deserves the same respect as a burial ground.
The 1953 Tangiwai disaster stands as New Zealand's worst rail accident. It occurred at 22:21 on 24 December 1953 after the rim of Mt Ruapehu's crater lake had collapsed, sending lahar (or flash flood) of ice and mud down the Whangaehu River and damaging the railway bridge at Tangiwai in the central North Island of New Zealand.
It is believed the lahar arrived at the bridge only minutes before 'train 626', a Wellington to Auckland overnight express, was approaching the river. The locomotive, Ka949 and first six carriages flew into the river, ultimately killing 151 people.
