Walking around havelock

Woke up to our first real day of misty rain.
Home-cooked breakfast of fruit juice, scrambled egg, bacon, toast, marmalade, yogurt and of course coffee!
After breakfast we decided to try the waterfall walk just behind our motel; its well signposted at the start but then the signs disappear and its down to intelligent anticipation.

Our first sight of a "waterfall" proved to be a stream, with the real waterfall some distance awayWe reached the viewpoint and were greeted with a misty vista.  On the way we encountered fallen trees, which added to the excitement of the trek.
Afterwards we  made our way down past the old "dam" which had provided Havelock's water supply, we called into the cafe to dry out and enjoy tea and a date scone, before driving a few km to Cullen point, where we decided to try what was advertised as a "35minute to 1 hour walk, depending on fitness level".  The rain had become more persistent, so we donned our waterproofs for the first time and set off down a gentle slope which led towards the sound and gave us some different misty views of the landscape, particularly the mudflats at low tide.

 We continued along the gradually descending path for ages, remembering that what goes down must eventually go up.  By the time we got back to the car 1hour and 15 minutes later we removed our raincoats, which were if anything wetter inside than out!
Back to the Motel to have a shower, change and a clothes wash!
