If you sit on the bank of a river,
you see only a small part of its surface.
And yet,
the water before your eyes is proof of unknowable depths.

I can say, that beautiful as the Waikato river is, you don’t know what is in the water and the fact that the current is about 10 miles an hour and it is very strong.
Sadly, many have died drowning in the Waikato river. It is unwise to go swimming in it except certain places where other people swim, and even then, with great caution
My sister Felicity has some of the Carp (large goldfish) taken from the Waikato river to swim in her newly made ponds in Te Kauwhata. I think some people go fishing in it.
People go canoeing, boating, in some places white water rafting, skiing, and kayaking in it or even go jet skiing. I went on a river cruise on it. It is a lovely river and the longest in New Zealand, it goes from Lake Taupo to Waikato heads near Auckland.
In places where there are no water savers, we need to be cautious. Wonderful is the photo of the river and its shores.
very beautiful and interesting
Happy Friday
Thanks so much Txatxy glad you like it
You’ve been nice to describe your river, dear Pamela … the river is never underestimated
Thanks so much Lado glad you like it
With great pleasure, dear friend
Yeah , Indeed the Quote has touched deeper meaning
That is true, still waters run deep. Thanks Witty Feeds
This is a wonderful place. Some underestimate the power of water. We also have a lot of accidents on rivers.
Thanks Vidocka, this is true…
Water can be very dangerous. We have to keep respect of it, as I know you do. Beautiful photo.
Thanks Carol, that is very true. Most people who drown, drown because they panic and it is better just to tread water or float and relax in it.
Best not to take unnecessary risks in the first place.
