this is the Monkey Creek in the Eglinton Valley on the way from Te Anau to Milford Sound... i was lucky enough to travel there reasonably early in the morning... i was able to catch some of the great, fresh, cold morning light and mood...

there are quite a few waterfalls in the Catlins region and these are the Purakaunui Falls... they are also a cascading multi-tiered waterfall on the Purakaunui River... they are an iconic image for south eastern New Zealand...

one of my favourite locations from the west coast of New Zealand... the 22-metre falls on the Tautuku River can be found in Catlins Forest Park... they drop down over a number of steps and terraces...

we were there during a reasonably rainy season so the green flora around the falls was very rich and lush and there was plenty of water coming down as well...

this is a closer view and you can also see the Nuggets (rocks) around the lighthouse... they make for quite a spectacular view and they are home to penguins and seals...
