Kerosene Creek is a must-see attraction located in the Rotorua region of New Zealand's North Island.

Just 30 minutes past Rotorua on the way to Taupo you will find the naturally heated waterfall and pools of Kerosene Creek. This is spot is a little off the beaten track meaning that you can often have it to yourself for a dip in the perfectly heated water or for a photography opportunity.

The natural hot spring which sits under the falls is met with the cool water of the creek creating beautifully tempered water and the chance of catching misty sunbeam photography if you get the timing right.

Kerosene Creek is located on Old Waiotapu Road . Travel along this gravel road for about 4 kilometres until you see a grass car park on the right hand side of the road. Walk approximately 5 minutes down the short track to the creek.

Photography info: I shot the main falls just after sunrise to try and catch some of the beams created when the sun peers through the trees.

Use a 6 stop filter and 0.9GND filter to smooth out the water.
