Looking to New Zealand🇳🇿 for waterfalls.

💦Bridal Veil Falls is a plunge waterfall located along the Pakoka River in the Waikato area of New Zealand. The waterfall is 55 m (180 ft) high, and has over time caused the formation of a large pool at the base of the waterfall. The falls are in the 217 ha (540 acres) Wairēinga Scenic Reserve with tawa-dominated forest. The water cascades over a basalt cliff, formed by volcanic activity, when an Okete Volcanics vent, on the 226 m (741 ft) hill just to the north, erupted about 2 million years ago and blocked the valley. Approximately 15 minutes from the nearby town of Raglan, the falls can be found after an easy 10-minute walk through native bush, along the Pakoka River. Facilities include parking, long-drop toilets and four lookout platforms. River crossings are bridged. It is a steep descent to the falls base, not handicap enabled, by 261 steps cut into a well maintained path. The pool should not be swum in as water quality does not meet health standards for swimming. Abseiling and rock climbing are not permitted due to damage to endangered plant life.

💦Hunua Falls are on the Wairoa River in the Auckland Region of New Zealand, near Hunua. The land around was bought by Auckland for water supplies between 1940 and 1960. The Wairoa River falls over a basalt lava plug. Volcanic tuff rings and lava bombs are visible in the east wall of the waterfall. The Wairoa has smaller falls. Lily Falls (also known as Wairoa Falls) were described as 70 ft (21 m) high and 3 mi (4.8 km) downstream from Hunua, in the Wairoa Gorge. As well as tracks to the Hunua Ranges, there are two 30 minute walks; The Lookout Walk and the Upper Lookout Walk. The cliffs are used for abseiling.

💦Kitekite Falls (also called Kitakita Falls) is a scenic 3-tiered waterfall near Auckland, New Zealand. The falls drop a total of 40 metres (130 ft). From the lookout on Kitekite track the falls appear even higher because there is white water running over rocks into a small pool from the upper swimming hole, then falling down into a large pool, then falling to a small pool before beginning an almost vertical descent in the final 3-tiers, making the total height closer to 80 metres (260 ft). They are located on the Glen Esk stream near Piha Beach.

💦Purakaunui Falls are a cascading three-tiered waterfall on the Purakaunui River, in The Catlins of the southern South Island of New Zealand. As one of very few South Island waterfalls away from the alpine region. The falls are located 17 km (11 mi) to the southwest of the small town of Owaka and 5 kilometres (3 mi) from the river's outflow into the Pacific Ocean. They can be reached via a short 10-minute bush walk from a car park on the Waikoato Valley / Purakaunui Falls Road, a gravel side-road off the main Owaka-Invercargill road. A small viewing platform near the top of the falls is accessible by wheelchair. Steps continue down to the main viewing platform at the base of the 20 metres (66 ft) three tiered cascade.

National Themes For October 5 National Get Funky Day, National Do Something Nice Day, and National Apple Betty Day.

💃National Get Funky Day! Turn up the energy, improve the mood, smile, laugh, dance and share the enthusiasm everywhere you go. National Get Funky Day encourages everyone to break out of their funk and get funky. When we add a little spice to our everyday routine, it keeps life interesting. Watch your interactions between customers, coworkers and loved ones improve. Funkiness is infectious! National Get Funky Day is a day to celebrate life, spread love, laughter, and light!

💖National Do Something Nice Day is very similar to National Random Acts of Kindness Day, which is celebrated on February 17. It would be ideal if everyone lived their lives doing kind things on a daily basis and without thinking about it. Today serves as a reminder to us all, as it is easy to get caught up with hectic schedules and fast-paced lifestyles, to stop for a moment and do something nice.

🍎National Apple Betty Day, is an American food holiday. Similar to what is known as apple crisp, crumble or cobbler, the American variant known as the Betty or Brown Betty dates from colonial times. Apple Betty (sometimes called Apple Brown Betty) is made with crumbs, apples, cinnamon, sugar and sometimes other ingredients.

And if you want tacos that look like a three year old made them come to my area they will fix you right up.

Warm 79° hugs!🐶🐶💕🌤🌻
