Tawarewa Falls

A different Sunday walk this weekend. The first lovely sunny day in such a long time meant it was time to get out of the house. Turn into the pine forest at Kawerau – with a permit of course, drive over pitted muddy forestry roads, through bare hills covered in stumps and debris, bleak and unwelcoming. Then as it looks like the road is about to end in a cliff, it does. The river goes underground from the lake behind the cliffs and bursts out this side into an awesome waterfall. I gave climbing the cliff to reach the lake a miss and walked to the falls. The colour of the crystal clear water was mesmerising and massive random boulders made the whole walk quite an experience. I think I will be back with my camera a few more times.
