Owharoa Waterfalls - Waikato




Today...another tiki tour, this time in the opposite direction to Owharoa Waterfalls - about an hour from home. Just off the main highway and before the Karangahake Gorge. Located in between Paeroa and Waihi we found the water was very heavy most likely from all the rain we had last week. I even managed to get a photo of a couple of tourists getting their photos taken in front of the waterfall.

Linking up with Our World Tuesday :-)

OMG, if only i previously learned that there is a lovely waterfalls in Waikato we could have detoured and went there. I hope there will be a next time. Here sometimes we really take very difficult time just to see one. I've been to that one in Auckland, now the name slipped my head.

Great pictures of the falls. I hope all that extra rain from the ex-TC Debbie hasn't done too much damage.

I love waterfalls! Some that are very high though scares me but yes, I do love them, especially this one that looks like a beautiful A-Line Gown!

So incredible! Would love to visit a waterfall like this (very different from the ones I have visited).

Waterfalls are some of my favourite things, and these photos are beautiful.

I have not seen these falls before. I like the cascading slope of these falls. I think the recent rains have helped all the waterfalls.

When we were full-time travelers, I used to say I collected waterfalls, because we'd go out of our way to see them...I still love them .... yours here would be an amazing addition to my 'collection'. Thanks for sharing it.

I love waterfalls, wherever they are, was able to see only one in Auckland. But i was able to see plenty of them at Milford Sound. If i will be lucky to be there again, i will visit this one, as you said it is not very far from the road. I am an old lady already, hahaha!

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

  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.
