Two hundred years ago, the harbour was
surrounded by bush, predominantly
pohutukawa, tawa and puriri. Today, little
original forest remains, although bush is
regenerating in some areas. Many of the
original wetlands are gone.
Less obvious are the signs that Ohiwa
was once thriving with trade. In the 1920s
Kutarere wharf was the harbour’s
Main landing point, known as "Port of all the
Urewera". The wharf was used until the
1960s when Port Ohope wharf opened.
Today, the skeleton of Kutarere wharf still
stands.
