The waterfalls
Every named waterfall the open map records inside the city, 11 named falls, most of them inside Hinewai Reserve on Banks Peninsula, where the regenerating bush hid them for a century; the Brices drop on the harbour’s north-western edge.
What the record says
- 9 of the 11 keep to one corner of the peninsula, every one within 4 km of a neighbour.
- The nearest neighbours are Lower Brice Waterfall and Upper Brice Water Fall, about 111 m apart.
- The spread runs Fantail Falls to Lower Brice Waterfall, about 43 km in a straight line.
Where they sit
OpenStreetMap’s own pins, the top or the plunge line, not the pool below. The tracks that reach them keep their own roll at /track.
The falls
Questions, answered briefly
11 named waterfalls on the open map, plus 9 more drawn without a name, most of them inside Hinewai Reserve on Banks Peninsula, where the regenerating bush hid them for a century.
Almost all in the harbour’s southern bays, Hinewai Reserve above Ōtanerito holds the densest cluster, and the Brice waterfalls drop on the harbour’s north-western edge. The map shows each pin.
Most of the named falls sit on public walking tracks, Hinewai’s loop passes several. The tracks roll at /track lists the walks; a waterfall page is a map record, not an access guide.
OpenStreetMap, every named waterfall inside the city boundary (ODbL). A pin is the mapper’s position, usually the top or the plunge line, not a surveyed mark.
