We had a special opportunity on Saturday to visit a film location near Piopio from "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey". This tour (Hairy Feet Waitomo) is not yet open to the public, but will be this summer. The owners, Suzie and Warrick, offered us the chance to preview the beautiful location, and gave us an amazing tour, since we were going to be in the area for the weekend. It was a bit misty, but that only added to the beauty of their land.
The scenes where the dwarves set up camp in the farm house ruins, their ponies are stolen and they encounter the three trolls are filmed below these craggy bluffs.
The scene where Radagast finds Gandalf is filmed here, too.
And the warg attack.
And just a few more pictures from a beautiful site and a fun tour.
