Waterfall Wednesdays: Wellington Edition 🏞️ Kicking things off with a very special place dear to my heart, I have walked this track hundreds of times as it used to be part of my daily commute to work and University! I got to climb down a waterfall every morning, and climb back up every evening. I miss those days 🥲 I’m bringing you a different waterfall to explore in my hometown every Wednesday, these spots are all extremely precious so please make sure that if you visit, you visit responsibly, and respect these amazing places we are lucky to live so close to!
