Wairua Stream Wairua Stream is a bit harder to get to as you have to get a boat across Lake Tarawera, making it a local’s paradise. It is near Te Rata Bay and is one of the most picturesque hot pools near Rotorua. Location: About 25 minutes out of Rotorua down Spencer Road, Lake Tarawera. By boat, launch at Stoney Point and head straight across Lake Tarawera to the headlands on the right of Mt Tarawera. Go straight through these headlands to where the lake opens. Steer gently to starboard and make for the only beach in this area. 3. Wai-o-Tapu / The Bridge / The Secret Spot When it comes to Rotorua hot pools, it does not get more popular thank this one. Funnily enough, it is supposed to be a secret. Get the remnants from the Wai-O-Tapu geothermal attraction by bathing in the hot pool formed by the hot Wai-O-Tapu stream meeting the cool river.

  • Formation of the Sport of Athletics in Rotorua
    Lake City Athletic Club Inc A History by Pam Kenny Three clubs joined together in April 1991, to form the current Lake City Athletic Club Inc. A short history of the earlier clubs is shown first. Rotorua Amateur Athletic & Cycling Club / Rotorua Athletic Club 1931-1991 On the 13 November 1931 a meeting was convened at Brent’s Bathgate House to establish an athletic and cycling club in Rotorua. Thirty people were in attendance and the Rotorua Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club was formed, with the club achieving incorporated society status in 1938. Blue and gold were the club colours - blue singlet/blouse and shorts with gold “R” on the top. Weekly competitions were held at the Rotorua Boys High on a Friday evening, with the customary track and field events for the runners, with cyclists contesting both track and road races. Val Robinson winning an early ladies’ athletics meeting in the late 1940's The club went into recess during the Second World War, with activities resuming October 1944. Venues utilized between 1944 and 1960 were Harriers in the late 1940's - L to R; John Wild, Alex Kuirau Park, the old A&P Showgrounds near Uta Millar, Keith French, Harry Findon Street, Arawa Park, Pererika Street, and again Kuirau Park. 1961 saw the Club at Smallbone Park, its home until the 1983/84 season, when a move was made to the new International Stadium, though the inadequacy of the track led to a return to Smallbone Park for a season. 1986 it was back to the Stadium until sand carpeting of the ground prevented permanent lane markings and children being able to run barefooted.
