Finally . . . for all those that have asked . . . my brisk morning walk, led me to the famous Waterfalls I mentioned in my #scavengerhunt 53 post late last year.
And the torrent of water certainly does make an impressive sight . . . and sound
. . . when standing directly above one of the viewing points along the riverbank.
The history of the falls makes for some very interesting reading! From the legends of the past and how the falls came to be named (Huka being the Maori word for “foam”) . . . to even more recent times. Such as 1989 – when a local Dominatrix was arrested after the body of a well-known Cricket Umpire was found beneath the falls with wrists and ankles bound in bondage fashion!
Little wonder that the falls are apparently the most visited natural attraction
in the country . . . oh, in fact I think I can hear another walking party
approaching now!
Still, even despite the constant thundering noise of the water . . . and the constant stream of visitors (there is yet another party on the opposite bank behind me) . . . the falls do give one a strange sense of peace and tranquility and relaxation.
In fact a perfect location for a Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt photo-set!!!
You can see lots of my other Scavenger Hunt walk-abouts at my

OMG, I have actually been to Huka falls. I might have to start a new game, which basically involves me ticking off locations that have featured in your Scavenger Hunt pics (I’ve definitely been to Cockfosters tube before too!).
Amazing pictures – as ever you totally inspire me with your nonchalant hot nakedness =)
Thank you GOTN . . . so you mean you’ve only recognised two locations? I’ll have to up my game!!!

Huka Falls is so incredibly LOUD, isn’t it?
The Peter Plumley-Walker case is still utterly infamous in NZ – I knew exactly what you were talking about when you wrote it.
And you look amazing! How did you find a time without tourists everywhere?
xx Dee
Oh there were lots of tourists . . . but you know, snatch a moment . . . and even if you do get an occasional glance back in disbelief it all adds to the fun doesn’t it!!!
