VERY BIG, BUT NOT IMPRESSIVE, SPRINGS

These are the biggest springs in NZ and Australia.  And they are indeed impressively big.  Not however, living up to their name which is “Jumping Sands”.  They are supposed to spurt sand high into the air somewhere out in the middle.  Now that would be impressive.  Actually when you get there you find that ‘sometimes’ sand gets spurted upwards to about ‘half a metre’.  Not actually very impressive.

But what I remembered about them is they put out 40 bathtubs a second of water.  That’s impressive.
