Sutherland Falls Sutherland falls is a 45 minute walk from Quintin Lodge along a well maintained and relatively smooth track. Be warned that after the walk over MacKinnon Pass you will be tired so allow yourself the mental freedom to deal with the uphill steps on the out-bound stretch. The falls is New Zealand’s tallest waterfall made up of 3 sections and totalling 580 metres. Think of it like a 200 storey building. 0.6 of a kilometre. The fall is feed by Lake Quill atop the mountain. As you approach this colossal natural beauty the enormity starts to overwhelm your senses. There is a sign 580m from the fall that you must walk past, oddly 580 metres to stress just how high this monster is. I had hoped to get some photos but I decided to leave my camera 100 metres or so, wrapped in a shirt, as I was already soaked from the spray. The noise. The sheer volume of water smashing down. On top of this my drench clothes were now making me cold. Freezing in fact. So what does an Aussie boy do? He walks closer and then finds a way to cross the stream to get to the rock face. Brain freeze set in several times. In for a penny thought I. Standing behind the falls was very exciting. The freezing cold soon turned to warm excited as my body adjusted. The noise !!!!! Full of jubilation I wandered back to Quintin Lodge for a warm muffin and coffee. Oh I suffered! An hour or so later Scotty arrived and the cheering happened. What a legend. . #SutherlandFalls #Travel #travelphotography #travelphotographer #canonphotographer #goldcoastphotographer #hiking #hikingNewZealand #milfordTrack #solotravel #tourismnewZealand #brisbanephotographer #nature #naturewalks #naturehikes #holidays #adventure #adventureHoliday #southislandNz #fiordlandnz #avalanche #waterfalls #mountainviews #quintinLodge (at Sutherland Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5JZ3yBAj39/?igshid=18vy4syqurs74

Sutherland Falls (580meters) in the pouring rain. It hard to get a sense of scale from beneath the falls. I would love to find a hike to Lake Quill, it’s source. Or get a bird’s eye view of all of it, from a helicopter. #newzealand #milfordtrack #hiking #sutherlandfalls #waterfall #landscapephotography (at Milford Track) https://www.instagram.com/p/BszwDtclWWq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5rh1co0b00zu

Down from the mountain and after a rest up at Quintin Shelter (hot water for tea in the rain!), I reach Sutherland Falls, the second (?) highest waterfall in New Zealand. #newzealand #milfordtrack #hiking #sutherlandfalls #waterfall #landscapephotography (at Milford Track) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bszvcrel3Zx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mg54zwosmin9
