Not far from home are the Piroa Falls. The drive includes 6 Km of fairly narrow shingle road.

A lot of rain recently made the falls impressive, but the 350 metre track was muddy and tricky to navigate.

I'll go back in midsummer when the footing will be easier.

Sign warns of flooding risk. Narrow muddy path beside a stream in bush.
