Plenty of yachties and rowers have been out on the lake each week, while anglers, walkers, cyclists and picnickers have made the most of the surrounding area. Currently the counts for blue-green algae are listed on the Environment website at 90,000 cells/mL (with 15,000 considered safe for recreational contact), but samples are due to be taken again at the end of this month. Lake Ngaroto is the largest of the Waipa peat lakes (surface area of 108 ha) and 010TC027/02 according to some of the visitors, it is an ‘underutilised gem’. Hamilton power walker Jeff Morse says he often walks around the lake and if he mentions it to other people they have no Leeeza’seza’s Daancence Cllassesasses idea what he’s talking about. “I usually regret telling them straight away.

From page 2. Tauranga anglers Jacqui Mullen, Brian Mullen and Julius Maskell agree. They often come over the Kaimais to fi sh at Lake Ngaroto and usually stay for the weekend. Mrs Mullen says the relaxed, rural environment is a bonus. “We actually only found the lake by accident - we were travelling along the main road and spotted it, so investigated how to get here. Since then we’ve been many times. “We prefer fresh water fi shing and Lake Ngaroto is a lovely spot to visit.” Her husband says the restoration of the lake is nice, it’s a great place to relax and the fi shing is always good. “It’s great fun - we mostly catch rudd, catfi sh, koi carp and eels. We throw everything back except the koi carp - around a month ago I got a 17lb’er.” Stanley Harris (78) and his wife Mavis from Hamilton come to Ngaroto to meditate, read and relax - sometimes spending up to seven hours be- side the lake. “It’s just the best place - we enjoy the peaceful- ness and the beauty of the lake.” Originally from South Africa, Mr Harris says the lake plays an important part in their much healthier, happier lifestyle in New Zealand. WALKERS Jeff and Meryl Morse (Hamilton) with Helen Beijeman (Taupo) complete the circuit around Lake Ngaroto. 024083AD
