When you see these Department of Conservations warning signs, take heed of them, as they will be there for a very good reason. New Zealand bush is dangerous and many visitors are injured by failing to heed general common sense rules, such as Read the Warning Sign and abide by it.

Wairere Falls

If there is a strong Westerly wind, and especially after a wet storm, then there will be a lot of water flying around. This also makes the track wet and slippery.
Just take care with clambering over rocks for example, as you can slip and get seriously hurt.

Rough track

Just in case you wondered, the Wairere Falls track is definitely NOT suitable for Wheelchairs or people with mobility disabilities of extreme level.
As you can see the track is unlevel in places, and the staircase is tall and long.
If there has been heavy rain, the track can be quite slippery too, remembering that the ground is protected from the drying wind and sun by the bushy umbrella.
