As children we would make the trip down to a place called Little Waihi with our whanau (family) once a year in the school holidays. We would see all of our cousins, aunties & uncles, Nannies & Koros, and have such a wonderful time. In the day we would play games with each others, swim in the Lakes and Hot Pools and in the night sing waiata's (songs) and listen to stories in the Marae. Ko Tuwharetoa te Iwi, Ko Tongariro te Maunga, Ko Taupo te Moana, Ko Te Heu Heu te Tangata.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any information about relations of Katherine Mallenson, who grew up near Little Waihi. She married and became Katherine Pearse, she is now in her 70's with dementia and we are trying to put together our children's whakapapa. Suzypearse@gmail.com
