Wednesday 10th October - part 2
I wasn't as brave as Tim, the rocks were a tad too slippery for my shoes, so he took my camera down to the waters edge and took some photos of the falls.
and then one of me - the spray had soaked my camera!
A final photo - after I cleaned the lens!
As we left we could still see the spray for quite some dsistance
returning along the board walk
Looking upstream from the swing bridge
A very large tee trunk that had been washed down in the floods.
Tim was speculating as to the large log jam it could cause if it got stuck across the wrong part of the river!!
The forest floor was really pretty.
Dappled in sunlight and fallen leaves
It really was very beautiful walking back through all the ferns
Lots of replanting after the floods
The view of Wainui Inlet from the road
The tide was out - I loved the patterns the sea and sand made, and the dozens of sea waders fossicking for food in the sand
We drove slowly back.
There was lots to see and also many one way barriers blocking traffic from the slips
This large section of road
ended up down in the gully and completely covered this house.
The part you can see here is only the remains of the top story!
It did protect the houses below though so I guess there was some good come out of it
Ligar Bay.
My most favourite photo I have taken in a long time
The tracks up to the monument
Tim reading all the historical information.
The storm clouds were amassing over in the west.
Love this photo - very dramatic clouds
The view of Ligar Bay from the monument.
View of Tarakohe from the monument.
From here we headed into Takaka to meet up with friends.
