Thread: When men were men

Opa - well well!! Wondered if anyone would know of it.

Take the road from Whakamaru towards Turangi/Taupo, then turn right about 8ks up onto Arataki road. 3-4ks to our old farm. Another k on there used to be a sawmill there by the river back in the 50s-60s - Tutukau. Go across old logging bridge over Mangakino stream there and head left way off into hills - down a very steep forestry track known then as the zig-zag, and way back through the bush to Opa. From memory there was a river a few miles past Opa. Very few will know of that place - we hunted there often for many years. Probably all farmland now?
