My family visited Te Puia Springs during the summer of 1968-’69. I was 13 years old and I recall a large, outdoor pool. I still have photos, one of my younger brother on Dad’s shoulders in the middle of the pool. Obviously, that large pool has gone but I can clearly remember the wonderful time that we spent en-route to Hick’s Bay where we camped for a week. Stan (formerly of Hastings NZ)
