Additional trips included a mountaineering and hiking trip to Arthur’s Pass Minga Valley Mt.

Many of the photos capture their climb of Franz Joseph Glacier 1953-1954 views of the Almer Hut on the glacier and even a crashed plane on the glacier amidst the aftermath of a four day blizzard.

After leaving the Tongariro National Park the couple moved to Laingholme a small community in the Waitakere Ranges of West Auckland and subsequently had two children Mark & Maia both depicted in the album along with many photos showing them visiting Teddy’s “Naera” Maori family members placing headstones in Waimamaku Valley as well as depicting Teddy’s grandparents unveiling of mountment to Rahiri at Paekanae and the Meeting House at Waimamaku.

He would later publish in 2011 his “Recollections of Ruapehu.” Sadly the iconic Chateau was closed permanently in Jan. 2023 due to seismic risks and many of the ski clubs on the Whakapapa ski fields have suffered through downturns in participation and challenging conditions.
