Rotorua's two well known Springs
Cole, S.,
Cole, D. (1985?). Rainbow and Fairy
Springs. Rotorua: Rainbow and Fairy
Springs.
A short 24
page publication that includes a brief history and highlights the different
areas of the park. It was interesting to note that the park was opened to the
public in 1928, but had admitted visitors, possibly as early as 1898. Reading
about the trout, kiwi, native birds and native forest brought more of an
appreciation for the amount of work that goes into maintenance and care of the
enclosures and to furthering public education about the species in the park. It’s
a brief and informative read with plenty of images.
