The Buried Village and Tarawera's Long Shadow

Aroha spends day three in Rotorua at the Buried Village of Te Wairoa, walking the terraces where the Pink and White Terraces once stood, and reflecting on the 1886 Tarawera eruption that ended an era and remade the town as a spa destination. She closes with an evening at Eat Street and a conversation about the Rotorua Museum's long-awaited reopening. ☕ Enjoying the show?
