Raging Haruru Falls


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.

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.

We've been in a drought so would love to share a bit of that rain! Hope you came through it well.

3 days of rain, awwww.... Nice to see you :-)

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.

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.

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.
