Today a visit to Washpen Falls, this is the office where you pay the $10 (adult) maintenance fee<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The first part of the track goes through some forest<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Once out of the forest we are greeted by some nice views of the surrounding hills<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Back in to forest again, rocky formations<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Not really a cave but kind of<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Back to the nice views over the Canterbury<\/a> Plains<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I’m seeing faces in the rocks again<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The actual falls<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

In summer I might have enjoyed a swim, too cold now<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We continue, there’s supposed to be some lake coming up<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But first we descend through forest again<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This looks lovely. Clear water, I will definitely have a soak in here if I come back in summer<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Ah, the lake. It’s small yet it has a canoe in there<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We have a go at canoeing as well<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Remnants of something they were doing here, I don’t remember what it said on the information sign<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The day was still young so after the Washpen Falls we went to Kowai<\/a> Bush<\/a> for another walk<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Lots of these on the trees here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A Kerer\u016b<\/a> in the tree<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And someone built a swing here!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

So we both have a go at it, woohoo<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Across from where we parked the car there are some alpacas<\/a> in a paddock, we entered the paddock to get a little closer to them<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Unlike many other animals these alpacas seem to leave all their (very small) droppings in a big pile, not seen that before<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
