Into Each Heart Some Water Falls

The High Falls at Whangarei

At a place where we didn't really expect it, Whangarei is after all a seaside town, and this region in the north of North Island is rather flat... So we were surprised to find such high falls on the Hatea River, in the north side of town, in a Scenic Reserve.
