These are photos I took of the same falls in July 2012.
This is a view of the river after the falls
The following day we did our weekly walk up Parihaka. This is a small waterfall that is usually barely visible.
and the falls alongside the staircase.
This is the falls in April last year.
It is a lovely walk alongside the stream
The whole area up the staircase in Parahaki looks almost like a jungle - Whangarei Falls are lovely whether in full flood or more gentle.
ReplyDeleteWe are so lucky to have all this right on our doorstep.
DeleteI have just changed the name in my post to Parihaka - it was changed a long time ago but has now been put back to Parihaka. People still call it by both but I try to use Parihaka and only realised I had the wrong name when I read your comment.
The volume of water over the water fall looks quite a difference after the storm. Sue, thank you so much for your emails. We're getting by a day at a time xx

DeleteI've always wanted to live by water, but it's never happened. I still dream of it.
ReplyDeleteA stream through our previous property would have made it perfect but at least we had lakes on either side.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy all the walks here alongside the rivers or streams.
I always enjoy your waterfall posts, Susan.The difference in flow after the storm is very marked.
