Don’t judge a book by its cover

I remember spending time here when I was growing up in Patea. We spent a long time here today feeling sad that this important historical site has deteriorated over the years but left knowing that the wonderful caretaker is doing everything he can to restore it. I was impressed with his achievements so far and will return next time I am down this way. We made our way up to the monument and I would recommend you do so and also visit the Waihi Cemetery & Redoubt so you can link their history. If the gate is locked you can still access the site through a gate. Just go in and enjoy the peace and quiet and soak up the atmosphere. A place NZers should visit.

An important site to visit

It is important to first visit the Tawhiti Museum to get the tragic background to this site. Allow a few hours at the museum to get great value out of it. You will be more sensitive to the sadness and tragedy of this historically significant site
