Waro Lake
Have just come across a website: livingheritage.org.nz where the site focusses on the origins of the Waro Lake. I really must put some of the statements. For instance the claim that there has been 27 deaths there. This is simply not true. Perhaps they were referring to the deaths in the coal mines all around that area, but I have lived in Hikurangi since 1974 and to my knowledge there has only been two deaths in that period. I am disgusted with the WDC sign that is erected at the 'jumping rock' forbidding diving or jumping off said rocks. I know the Coroner wanted the barrier erected and the signage but I feel the Council has gone too far. By all means have signage there warning of the possibility of slipping on the rocks when wet, but the banning of diving/jumping is quite simply ridiculous! No wonder parents wrap their children in 'cotton wool' with this sort of over-reaction to a tragedy. I feel strongly that the Council needs to change their sign immediately and in future consult with the community before taking such draconian steps.

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
