The Buried Village is New Zealand's Pompei. 120 people were killed when the nearby volcano erupted in the 1920's. Their village was covered in mud and ash. The nearby world-famous Pink and White Terraces ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_and_White_Terraces) were at the heart of the eruption and were destroyed.
The remains of the village can be seen during a stroll around a pretty garden. A feature is the largest waterfall of hot water in New Zealand.
