This is quite a lovely but dangerous place. Maruia Falls is located just outside of Murchison, we stopped there recently. At first glance it looks like a great swimming spot but don't let that fool you.

Local residents have put up this sign to show how many people have drowned there due to the fast moving current and whirlpool full of timber that we saw while we were there.
I do have some good news though. Earlier this week my first grandchild Hailey Maree was born weighing in at 7lbs 6oz. We will be flying up to Auckland in November to see her and spend some time with my oldest son and his partner - very excited.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday, All Seasons and Tom's Signs.

The falls is very beautiful!
Better stay out of it then.
Congratulations on your first grandchild!! That is exciting!!
...congratulations!
Congratulations Grandma!
Such a beautiful waterfall but good advice not to try to swim there.
I wouldn't want to go anywhere near a log whirlpool. A visit to your grandchild will be something to which to look forward.
Congrats on the new member of your family! Lovely falls, and sorry they are so dangerous. Sometime nature does that!
A beautiful waterfalls, too bad it's dangerous. Congrats on becoming a Grandma, it must be exciting for you.
Beautiful falls, and congratulations on your new grandchild!
Congratulations, Grandma! Those falls are a very attractive nuisance and even a death trap.
Congratulations on the grandchild! Those falls are lovely, and it does look like a fine place to swim. It's good to have signs, and I hope people actually read them and take the advice.
Beautiful waterfall and oh, yes, looks like one could jump in and enjoy...
Happy, happy congrats on your Grandchild!
Congratulations, I bet you're excited to see your grandchild! The waterfalls are beautiful. Personally it would never occur to me to bathe in that spot though, I think...
Congratulations! What a great early Christmas blessing.
Worth a Thousand Words
great place... for taking photos.
congratulations!!!
Congratulations for the next generation. I hope you have a great time visiting. I have been to Maruia hot springs but not those falls. And I love those kind of signs - swimming here isn't banned but only inconsiderate idiots would do it.
Congratulations!
Best to take such warnings seriously.
