Hamurana Springs was actually on the same day as Okere Falls,
but because I was a little camera happy you get it on two separate posts.
That deep blue chasm you see there is 15 meters deep.
The water is so clear you can see about 5 meters.
Despite looking calm and tranquil it actually gushes about
1 000 000 gallons of water per hour
AND it tastes delicious!
What you probably don't know is that Hamarana springs is where the Clarke's used to get their water to make their cordials from for the soda pop factory that was in Rotorua in the 1950's time. The trucks used to come and water and take it back. Then there was a secret place that they got their pure water from.
