Day 4 - May 27, 2008: The waterfall and Waiau Waterworks

See Ming made breakfast and went for a walk while I waited for Max to wake up.
She came back to find us having breakfast. We joined her for a walk through the garden and towards the waterfall nearby.
In the afternoon, we drove out to Waiau Waterworks to see the gizmos and gadgets that are worked by water. It was a nice long drive to get there.
The turn off to Waiau Waterworks.
Part of the an exhibit. The collected water from the little trays powers an intricate mechanism that flushes a toilet bowl periodically.
A water-powered bicycle.
A waterwork clock. Water is sprayed onto the pendulum which drives the clockwork.
This machine didn't have anything to do with water, but it was fun. It was sort of a pedal-powered merry-go-round.
