This weekend we have my sister staying, she has come up for a visit so yesterday I showed her one of our nature walks we have here. There are about 9 waterfalls around Kerikeri in total so we thought we would see the river waterfall.
The walk in total is about 20 mins along an easy track with Kawakawa trees just about everywhere and the leaves can be used in a healing balm.
Some nice fungi I found on one of the old logs and because there are Kauri in the forest, near the entrance is a cleaning station where you have to scrub your shoes and spray a disinfectant on them. This is to prevent Kauri dieback disease which has affected many trees in NZ.
This is the waterfall once we got to it, we couldn't walk down to the edge as it was too slippery.
This is us both, we don't really look alike. I take after my dad, she takes after mum. Anyway we are due to spend the rest of the weekend and most of next week with heavy rain.
Stay safe. Kia kaha

...I'm sorry to hear that you are having days of rain, but I would glad take one or two off your hands.
Enjoy your sister's visit. The rain is most often not as bad as forecast.
I should be grateful actually, come Summer we'll be in drought again.
She stayed for one night but it was good.
You do look alike in the photo!
That was a lovely walk. Glad to hear they're doing what they can for those kauris.
How great to have some time with your sister. I've visited that waterfall, it is so pretty :)
Hello,
I enjoy your walk with you and your sister. The nature scenes are beautiful, love the boardwalk. The waterfall is pretty. Enjoy your day, happy weekend!
Great photos - evocative - love the idea of rain and can imagine the smells of the forest and the earth.
How lovely to spend time with your sister Amy.. I have two sisters, both look like my mum and I look like dad.. funny how that works 😀
Enjoy your time together! I loved seeing the waterfall!
Very nice waterfall, glad you had a nice visit with your sister. Raining here today too. :(
a beautiful trail to a beautiful place. Hope you and your sister had a great weekend. :)
Love the waterfall! It's raining here just now and after a hot week behind and another hot week to come (according to forecasts), I love that too! :)
