  • In its heyday, the Ōpepe township boasted a hotel, a store, homes for about 120 residents and an Armed Constabulary stockade on the western edge. It was also the scene of a one-sided skirmish between European militia and Māori in June 1869. Nine Bay of Plenty Cavalry members died when a band of warriors led by Māori leader and guerrilla fighter Te Kooti attacked their camp. Trooper George Crosswell, who had been drying his rain-drenched uniform, managed to escape and travel naked across 64 kilometres of rough country to report the attack. A five-minute-long detour from the Northern walking track leads to the cemetery of the nine soldiers.

    WOW Julia! What a story! I guess like many places the colonizers were not always looked upon favorably by the native Maori. I tend to feel bad for the indigenous peoples. Most of them couldn't catch a break and still don't here in the US. Down in New Zealand in 1869 it must have been like the wild, wild west of the US at that time. It is still so sad we cannot find collective peace anywhere. Good to see you again! XO ♥️☘️
