We really have had a very wet rainy Spring, last week we literally had 3 days of just constant heavy pelting rain. On Monday morning we ventured over to Haruru Falls to see what the river was like after it all.
Usually the waterfall is fast and raging but this day it was even more so, you can see in the video above how brown the water is, there were plenty of logs and branches going down the current.
We had a look at the opposite end where there is a campsite next door, we weren't allowed to drive in there so we stopped at the rest area instead.

Wow, listen to that water. The Falls were so quiet and peaceful when I last visited them.
Mxx
The extra rainfall has made a massive difference to the waterfall. Exciting and frightening at the same time.
Wow that's a lot of rain!
I imagine all the falls around Whangarei were the same. We have had so much rain.
Lots of rain turns up the volume and speed of the water flowing. The rivers here are like that too. I like watching them when they do.
What a torrent.
We've been in a drought so would love to share a bit of that rain! Hope you came through it well.

We need more rain here in California. Enjoy your rain.
Worth a Thousand Words
That is a river meaning business!!
Our rivers are playing that game here too
3 days of rain, awwww.... Nice to see you :-)
Wow, yes, that water sure is brown.
I love waterfalls. Would have been nicer without fall, but great anyway. :)
Re your question on the antlers.
Yes people take them home. I was about to do that too, I checked them out a few days ago, but the head are still attached to the body and not pleasant at all. Maybe in the spring, if they are still there, the birds and other small animals might have cleaned them up. If so, I will take them. :)
...rain can be a good thing, but too much of a good thing can be disastrous.
mighty nature!
That's a lot of rushing water. Quite a sight
Wow, I've never seen the falls that active! I drove out of my way on Monday to have a look at some local falls after all that rain but couldn't get close enough to see them the ground was so boggy. Glad you got some good shots!
That certainly is a lot of rain!
The sound of the gushing water is pretty scary!
You can certainly tell from the color of the water that it's rushing heavily.
Well, hello Amy! Nice to see you. :)
