As the mercury crept steadily higher over the last few days, Tauranga residents raced to region's many watery playgrounds to cool off.
Welcome Bay resident Jamie Abraham visited McLaren Falls on Sunday with her two children, Teagan Ngati, 6, and Kingston Abraham, 10.
It was the second time in as
many days that they had visited the waterfall, she said.
"We'd been down the bottom below the bridge, and, because they'd opened the floodgates, we thought we'd try out the top part," she said.
Abraham said they normally visited the Mount Maunganui Main Beach, but "this was something different".
