15 minutes at Rainbow Falls



I had 15 minutes to spare yesterday in between jobs so I walked down to our local Rainbow Falls for a brief sit next to the waterfall. Also known by it's Maori name of Waianiwaniwa, it has 3 different viewing platforms before leading along a short path to the water.  At 27 metres tall it's made from an erosion of soft rock and sited on a hard basalt layer of rock.

 

Of course I had to take a short video of the waterfall. Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

I've not been further up the Kerikeri River, than the Wharepuke Falls. I assume the Rainbow Falls are firther up. They look higher.
