this place is very spiritual and in all my years of going there i have seen the decline in respect for the springs from young twits going there to drink and leaving their beer bottles everywhere…please help curb this by taking down the license plates of those people and reporting their behavior…Sadly this has resulted in the springs being fenced off and security measures been looked at i personally take away a bag of rubbish every month me and my partner go there people need to wake up and respect that these place are unique to New Zealand and every one visiting needs to do their bit in preserving its natual beauty.
