When my father told me he and Mum were intending to make a trip to Taupo to climb Mount Tauhara, I was eager to join them and take a small detour to see the wall with my own eyes. Dad had mentioned the wall in the past and even visited it once before. Having a keen interest in ancient history and in particular, stone ruins, I was curious to investigate the mysterious structure.
If it were man-made, that would lead to a lot of exciting questions:
How old was it? Who made it? Maori? Pre-Maori people? Why was it built? Why here?
