McLaren Falls

Often on our way home from Whakatane we past McLaren Falls but never actually drove 1.4 kms to see the falls but today we did. There were no steps to go down or up which makes a change. It was very noisy as we were so close to the fast running water. There were many signs around stating that no diving was allowed into the falls. The reasons were obvious as the level of the water was different most days. Only 26 days each year is the water released from the Dam above the water fall and we were lucky enough to be there on one of those days. The reason why I mention about the No Diving notices was because we saw two very foolish boys diving in. I took a photo of them before they took their dive just in case they had an accident and they wanted to identify them. (Waba ski, I’ll explain that later, maybe) Only joking, but I did take a photo.
