A walk around Whangarei Falls


This is one place we enjoyed seeing. The Whangarei Falls is just out of the city - very popular spot and well organized as we found when we arrived there as parking attendants showed us where to park our car and were friendly and helpful.


We decided to walk around from the start to finish which took us roughly about 20 minutes along a very easy loop walkway past the impressive waterfall.


And as you can see someone wanted his photo taken in front of the falls.....

Linking up with Our World Tuesday.

Beautiful falls. I love waterfalls and walking into them is one of my favorite things to do. (I used to say hiking into them.... but now if there isn't a boardwalk or a good path I don't do it, so I guess walking is a better term). Is that guy photo-bombing the beautiful falls someone you know ;>)???

I love waterfalls too, and even if i am not very fit for hiking i really struggled just to see them here. And in my last escapade last April we had been to 4 waterfalls, in one we crossed 4 wide rivers and 2 streams. If that is not love enough, i don't know how to call it, haha! Where is Whangarei in NZ?

Triple falls. Waterfalls have a charm of their own. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm surprised there's so much water in the falls already Amy. You must have had a lot more rain than we have. Looks like wonderful place to visit, glad to see that you must be feeling better ✨

I can never resist waterfalls, and this one is a delight, with the scenic trail to follow on the way.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

Image
  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
