Keresone Creek with Sophia

The largest mudpool near Waiotapu.  Great for Sophia to hear the boiling mud, and see the steam.
The thermal stream at Kerosene creek, is a great place to spend a cold afternoon.

The urchins enjoy standing under the waterfall, and being massaged by the warm water.

Tighe loved being in the bubbles created by the waterfall, he would float away on the current.

Looking down the stream, the steam kept rising, and it was deliciously warm.
Further up the stream, towards the carpark, is a mini cascade.  This is my favourite part of Kerosene Creek.

Kerosene Creek

25 minutes south of Rotorua is a hot waterfall.  It's not far from the mudpools.  Just down a dirt road for about 2 km.  The water temperature is about 35 + degrees.  You get a warm massage from the hot water.  There is plenty of places for the urchins to explore.  A MTB track is nearby, as well as Rainbow mountain.
There are hot springs under the water, and some places are hotter than others.

The boys liked the natural overhang
More exploring
Further up the hot stream.  Great massage
