Abstract
Jack and Isabel Bain from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia did a round the world post retirement trip in 1966.
The Grand Chateau, also known as the Chateau Tongariro, is a hotel and resort complex located close to Whakapapa skifield on the slopes of Mount Ruapehu, within the boundaries of Tongariro National Park, New Zealand's oldest national park. It is also close to the volcanic peaks of Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngauruhoe. The building was completed in 1929 and, despite extensive refurbishment, still retains much of the style of the pre-Depression era. It is listed by Heritage New Zealand as a Category 1 historic place.The Chateau Tongariro Hotel closed permanently on 5 February 2023, largely because the building has significant seismic risks.
