Need a nature fix? Below are 5 short bush adventures from around the Waikato that the kids and I have enjoyed over the years, maybe you have or will too 🙌 🌿 🥾🌳

• Waterworks Walk – Hakarimata Scenic Reserve, Ngaruawahia – take in a bit of history about the towns old water supply and maybe sail some leaf boats

Bridal Veil Falls – Te Mata, Raglan – this stunning waterfall drops 55m over a choice outcrop of hard basalt rock

Mangakara Nature Walk – Pirongia – there are plenty of great adventures to be had on and around this extinct volcano

Kauri Grove Loop, Parker Road (off Hakarimata road, between Huntly and Ngaruawahia) – Hakarimata Scenic Reserve – visit huge old Kauri and meander through a grove of young ones along this track

Karakariki Track – Whatawhata – just west of Hamilton, this is a beautiful little waterfall to explore and enjoy with the kids

From my whanau to yours 💗 – Anita 🥜✌️
