This use is reflected today in the eel (tuna) marked track signs guiding visitors around and through the falls site and throughout the Hatea River walk.</p><p>Archibald Clapham bought the property in the late 1920s, reputedly to prevent the falls being developed into a commercial water mill. In 1946 a local businessmens' association raised the purchase price by public subscription and the property was vested as a public domain. Popular at the turn of the century as a picnic and relaxation spot, public enjoyment of the 26.3 metre falls and surrounding river area hasn't changed!</p><p> </p></body></html> |
