Walk #163, 21st Feb 2025

The falls are actually a concrete weir built in 1922 by the Havelock Borough Council on top of the existing falls, to provide water for a small power station that was downstream.

As you can see it is a popular swimming spot. I would have liked to have known about this as a child. We always swam in the Ngaruroro River. This is much better.
