Tarawera Falls, New Zealand (DJI)
Tarawera Falls is a 35 m high waterfall on the Tarawera River in the Bay of Plenty region in New Zealand's North Island.
The Tarawera River flows out of Lake Tarawera and across a rhyolitic lava flow that erupted from Mt Tarawera about 11,000 years ago. The river disappears about 30 metres back from the clifftop into flooded caves in the lava and pours out halfway up the cliff on the far side of the flow.
After rain, part of the flow passes over the top of the cliff as a 65 m tall companion fall.
Access is from the town of Kawerau and is a drive of about 45 minutes over unsealed roads, followed by a walk of about 20 minutes. A forestry access permit is required, available from the Information Centre in Kawerau.

McLaren Falls, actually multiple cascades, is located on Mangakarengorengo River, a 20 minutes easy drive from Tauranga. Usually, it's a waterfall almost without water because of the Power Generation Station located upstream, but in a rainy season it looks absolutely unbelievable. In warm days lots of people swim in cool water at the base of these waterfalls.

Kiwi Release in Whakatane, New Zealand - Arahi
During the afternoon of Thursday 20th January 2011 I had the pleasure of releasing a Kiwi into the bush area around Whakatane - the Kiwi Capital of New Zealand and NZ's Sunshine Capital. I was taken out by Bridget Evans and her helper Laura from the Department Of Conservation (DoC) - Whakatane Kiwi Project to release a male Kiwi named Arahi - which is Maori for strong. I got to go as I had won the chance to release a Kiwi through a bidding auction held by the Whakatane Kiwi Trust through our local radio station 1XX (One Double X) on 31st July and 1st August 2010. Radio 1XX is also a sponsor of the Whakatane Kiwi Trust and I work at the station too and was a part of the 1XX Kiwi-athon broadcasts which we have done for the Whakatane Kiwi Trust in 2009 & 2010. It was quite a unique and special experience to hold this little flightless native bird of New Zealand - a rare thing for us to do here in New Zealand - and to release him into the bush. Arahi was the 126th Kiwi released in the bush area around Whakatane. More have been released since. For more on the Whakatane Kiwi Trust go to - .
Karamatura falls
The Karamatura Falls is approx 45km from Auckland CBD,
and forms part of the Hillary Trail, located in the Huia Regional Park, which is in the southern part of the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park, it's a 15-metre high waterfall and is part of the Karamatura Stream with at least two more cascades downstream.
At the start of the track you are met with a beautiful pou whenua,
pou whenua's are carved wooden posts used by Maori, the indigenous peoples of New Zealand to mark territorial boundaries or places of significance. They are artistically carved and can be found throughout New Zealand.
Not only do they mark territorial boundaries, they also tell a stories,
this pou whenua stands at the beginning of the Karamatura Loop walk, and tells the story of the traditional name of the area where it stands: Kaingamatura — dwelling place of the deaf. It shows a shark to recall the occasions when the tribe of (Kawerau a Maki) this area went shark fishing from here. At one time an illicit liaison of a girl and a man from another tribe was found out, and the pair fled, hiding behind the rushing waters of a waterfall nearby, resulting in temporary deafness.
Here are still some preserved relics of the area’s logging history
with on-site information on how timber was moved out of this area.
The park has huge Kauri trees so please take the time to clean your gear at the kauri dieback station so we can do our part to save these giants from kauri dieback

Putauaki mountain New Zealand communications tower
Mount Edgecumbe communications tower work in kawerau.
Putauaki, also known as Mount Edgecumbe, is a dacite volcanic cone in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand. Located 50 km east of Rotorua and three kilometres east of Kawerau, it is the easternmost vent of the Okataina volcanic centre, within the Taupo Volcanic Zone. The mountain rises to 820 m above sea level, and is visible from the waters of the Bay of Plenty, 30 km to the north. Every year a King of the Mountain race is run on Putauaki as part of the international King of the Mountain series, and proceeds are donated to charity.
The last substantial volcanic eruption occurred around 300 BCE, producing a cubic kilometre of lava.[1]
Captain James Cook named Pūtauaki Mount Edgecumbe on 2 November 1769, possibly in honour of John Edgecombe, the sergeant of marines on his vessel, the Endeavour.[2] The mountain's official name changed back to Putauaki in 1925, and as of 2014 the name sometimes appears with a macron (Pūtauaki).[3]
The New Zealand government took part of the mountain from the Ngāti Awa people in the 1880s as part of a series of North Island land confiscations, supposedly for the purposes of military settlement. In a 1999 report the Waitangi Tribunal declared the confiscation illegal because there was no prospect of placing settlers on the mountain.
Legendary source of name
Māori legend tells of a love affair that Pūtauaki had with Whakaari/White Island. Another version of the legend is that Pūtauaki was lonely after losing a fight for Pīhanga (another mountain) so when he met Tarawera he decided to start a relationship with her. After raising a son and years of a troubled marriage, Pūtauaki cast his eye out towards the sea, where the very beautiful Whakaari was. The two would call out to each other at night while Tarawera slept. One night Pūtauaki could not contain his love any longer and decided to travel out to be with Whakaari. It is said that a mountain can only move once in their life and only at night so Pūtauaki had to travel across the land fast. Little did he know, his son had awoken and was following him. He heard the little whimper from his son and turned around. He tried to tell his son to stay with Tarawera but the little mountain would not leave his father. Then the sun rose and froze the two mountains where they were. When Tarawera awoke she saw that her husband had left and she started to weep, thus creating the Tarawera Falls and river. Until this day Tarawera still cries and Whakaari still calls out for her lover, who is frozen to the spot near Kawerau.

???????? Waiau Falls and Kauri Grove Lookout - Coromandel, New Zealand ????????
NZ Parks and Recreation Link:
Beautiful waterfall and peaceful swimming pool at Waiau Falls - Coromandel, New Zealand in 2013. We drove around Coromandel and stopped for an unexpected trip at this waterfall. It was an amazing experience to travel and relax near the waterfall. My husband climbed the rocks to get a closer look. It's possible to go swimming in the natural pool of water, and it's just a quick walk to the waterfalls from the car. It's a beautiful and natural spot in New Zealand. Highly recommended for any adventure travel you might take in New Zealand. (Recorded in 2013)
