Our day out at Hamurana Springs Autumn 2013

Well here are my first lot of photos of the Hamurana Springs Walk.  We have decided to go again and take a picnic.  It is a fantastic place and we wish we had all been there sooner.  Enjoy the photos.

The walk took us over a bridge and through the Redwood Walk all the way to Spring.  Back over another bridge and back down towards the carpark.  It was beautiful.

This shows how fast the water is moving in various places.  It is spectacular aqua colour.

It is about 50 metre deep.   The next few photos are close ups.

I loved the contract in the trees

 

 

It was a lovely day out that the whole family enjoyed.  Hamurana is not far from Rotorua.  It is the far side of Ngongotaha village.  Once back in the city we of course ended our day with ice cream.
