I liked it enough to shoot it twice.
Truthfully, I liked it enough to shoot it a dozen times, being a desert rat and not having much experience to know what makes a waterfall look good, trying it with a few angles and combinations since I knew we wouldn't be back anytime soon, if ever.
So I guess I should say "I liked it enough to post it twice."
We hiked from the Homestead trailhead up to Sweet Creek Falls and back, then drove up to the trailhead to see the confluence of Sweet Creek and Beaver Creek. That was a challenge of a trail, real slow going. We managed to wipe all of the rainwater off of the sopping wet grasses onto our pants but more importantly, that rain had brought out every banana slug, black snail and big reddish newt in the woods and put them in the trail, and each had found the perfect habitat to blend in. Or that was how it seemed. Watch where you step!

Packed up and left Bandon, raining again. Bad day for the beach, and the dunes we'd planned on hiking, but it should be a good day for waterfalls. Waterfalls like the rain...
So we turned inland to visit Sweet Creek and it's waterfalls. When a desert dweller sees a waterfall, they shoot it. Doesn't matter how small it is, it's a waterfall and that's a rare sight and the desert rat must get a picture. Or six. Really slows things down on a nice creek hike like this was :^)

The Waimakariri begins to the east and courses through high mountainous countryside, emerging from a gorge to spill outwards in a braided fashion across the Canterbury Plains. It flows through the outskirts of Christchurch, at Kairaki. The mouth opens into a big tidal bay.
an interesting side I thought, all the silt from the river spilling into the Pacific Ocean, pic taken on my way to the North Island

We have arrived in Brisbane and have three nights stay then back to New Zealand. August 8, 2014 Queensland, Australia.
Brisbane is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland, and the third most populous city in Australia. The Brisbane central business district stands on the original European settlement and is situated inside a bend of the Brisbane River, approximately 15 kilometres from its mouth at Moreton Bay.
Brisbane is named after the Brisbane River on which it is located, which in turn was named after Scotsman Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825. The first European settlement in Queensland was a penal colony at Redcliffe, 28 kilometres north of the central business district, which was founded in 1824. That settlement was soon abandoned and moved to North Quay in 1825. Free settlers were permitted from 1842. Brisbane was chosen as the capital when Queensland was proclaimed a separate colony from New South Wales in 1859.
Prior to European settlement, the Brisbane area was inhabited by the Turrbal and Jagera people. They knew the area that is now the central business district as Mian-jin, meaning "place shaped as a spike".
