Today we decided to explore a new place so headed to south Auckland then over to the Hunua Ranges Regional Park. First stop the Hunua Falls where we did a little loop walk and wandered down to the pool at the bottom of the falls, a little too cold to go swimming in it now though. Fortunately the nice sunny morning meant a beautiful reflection of the falls in the river.
We then drove around to the first reservoir of the day, Cosseys Reservoir, and had a wander alongside the water.
A bit further round the Hunua Ranges is Wairoa Reservoir, from where you can do lots of walks and where we will head back to in the future. This time we just walked up to the dam to get a nice view over the reservoir.
The final stop of the day was Mangatawhiri Reservoir, this was taken on the very bumpy unsealed road heading down to it. Less to do for us here, more an area for mountain bikers with several tracks around the area.
