Wild weather continues to bear down on TaranakiSUPPLIED High waves pound New Plymouth. SIMON O'CONNOR/STUFF French tourists Camille Lehmann, left, and Giulia Gattigo, both 23, weren't letting the wet weather dampen their spirits. "We are expecting similar swells at high tide overnight and we will close the gates during that time." The wild weather also rocked the Urenui Beach Camp, north of New Plymouth, which had been basking in warm sunshine just 48 hours earlier. "High tide has just gone and we got through that without issue."
