Scenic falls placed in an enchanting forest
A beautiful waterfall is located in Whisky Gully, the Whisky Falls. It appears to be a rather small waterfall, but don't let that bother you, the track and bush surrounding it is breath taking. A great New Zealand Beech forest with all the bells and whistles that come along with it, the meandering stream, tui's, rocky cliffs high above in the blue mountains. The track is not for the clumsy footed, it is no pram assessable, little kid friendly kind of deal. I would recommend some good hiking footwear and maybe some hiking poles. But all the same, if you have a few hours spare whilst around the West Otago area, give this place some thought.
Directions
I guess from Tapanui, head out of the center of town on Bushyhill Street, That will turn into Whisky Gully Road, Follow that till the end, about 2 kilometers away. Wasn't that easy? You are there, at the parking lot in the Whisky Gully Reserve. Get out of your car and walk into the forest where the signs say to go. To Easy. The Falls are about an hour up a dodgy fun track, that you will end up returning down, unless your in for the long hike to the summit or Blacks Gully some 8 hours away.
