Monday's Parkinson walk to Raumanga Falls

It has been, and still is, hot and humid here.  On Monday the Parkinson's walking group met at the Information Centre and walked through the park and up the track through the bush to the Raumanga Falls then on to have a look at the new dam which was just a large wall from that side (no photo).

The dam is to hold rainwater and then release it slowly to (hopefully) avoid flooding the CBD.

The trees make it look a lot cooler than it actually was.

Many of us sat at the top of the falls and watched this young man diving.  His dog is in the water below him.

We met the young man earlier picking up discarded bottles while walking his dog and having a swim,




Here he is just surfacing with his dog beside him.
