Fauth family went to one of the many planting days to help restablish the flora and fauna in the area, Annabelle planted a Totara. It is lovely to be able to give our time to the amazing group of people who are caring for this site. Photos Roselyn Fauth
Situated along the Ōpihi River, this area contains numerous limestone overhangs adorned with prehistoric art. The site is significant for its concentration of rock art, reflecting the area's historical importance. This is not a public site, so you will be unable to see the rock art unless you have arranged permission or are with a guide. It is thought that the moa hunters camped near the river, and rafted their prey downstream to a settlement near Arowhenua, not far from Temuka and the Opihi's outlet to the Pacific. The area encompasses a cluster of 18 rock art sites in the gully leading to the Opihi River and along the limestone outcrops on the south side of the Opihi River.
