Hard at work, the garden that used to fill the area has been removed in preparation for the tunnel houses.

Located handy to the kitchen we have two six metre-long tunnel houses, which will soon be lush with daily vegetables for use in the marae, three large potato-growing boxes, a revamped herb garden, our own lemon tree and a garden implement shed.

There is a misconception, fostered by old Europeanaccounts,thatkūmarawasnotgrownsouthofTaumutubecause it was too cold.

We have always proposed turning the lower sectionof the lake intoanestuary,aspart of constructing thepermanent outlet.
