The whole time we were there the South Island was suffering a drought. They actually consider 7 consecutive days without rainfall a drought.  A tremendous amount of rain typically falls here.  This particular waterfall often is so much larger than seen here that its spray shoots straight over the rock you see toward the bottom here - some 30 feet off the edge of the cliff itself.
