Gisborne Point, also known as Komuhumuhu, was once a major settlement until it was abandoned during the Tairawhiti invasion of 1864. Komuhumuhu is a word in the M?ori language that means "to whisper, murmur". There is a public boat ramp at the east end of Wharetoroa Drive providing access to hot pools along the southern shores of Rotoiti Lake.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
