Whangarei Falls by Bushtography (New Zealand Photo spot)

Whangarei Falls is 26.3m high as the Hatea River falls over basalt cliffs into a lush forest surrounding. The base of the falls may once have been tapu (sacred) as the pools below the waterfall were once used for washing the wounded and was known to Maori as an area of healing.
