relative ages

To some, 1880 is ancient...after all, it is fifty years after the beginnings of Te Aroha, with the Gold Rush.

This is the museum in the Domain, which was built then, along with the gardens, bath house with the geyser, pools and information centre for tourists.




To others it is young- The Maori arrived in Aotearoa/New Zealand, six hundred years before that...

and to others still, even they are comparatively newly arrived....
