Toaroha

With over 30 descents of the Lower Toaroha it seemed wrong that Two Dash crew hadn't explored further up the valley and with whispers of a waterfall, We did what all great kayakers had done before we walked.

10am at the take out we loaded our boats on and started the walk. A casual pace saw time fly by and still no sign of the waterfall.Many sightings of the local blue duck family was also a big distraction. So the waterfall continued to be elusive until we hit a gorged out section of river, and half way through our challenging portage, we spotted it. we couldn't quite get a full view of it but the clouds of spray billowing out around the corner suggested some sort of gradient.
