Darrans Waterfalls

We awoke to the promised rain…. Though the adjective ‘Biblical’ wasn’t appended, it would have been apt. This time we were agape at the intensity of the precipitation that now obscured all the Diorite from view. Much of the day was spent reading at Homer, but we made a brief foray through to Milford Sound for a coffee, a weather report and a shower.

Oh the Waterfalls!! Milford Sound itself was a non event, but the drive there something else altogether. Never have I seen so many humungous waterfalls!! Each 500-700m tall, they numbered in the hundreds. Heli-canyoning might just catch on here… Again I sat mesmerized, in a pattern that was to repeat itself on each day we spent here..
