Water Wheel

A new museum activity will be added to Kawerau's tourist interest.

The Water Wheel group will set up a project on Spencer Avenue consisting of vintage tractors, vintage cars and farm implements, all housed in buildings. The enterprise will also include a blacksmith and forge, a workshop, a functioning water wheel, cafeteria, a shop and tours.

Run primarily by volunteers, it is expected this project will develop over time. The Kawerau District Council is keen to hear from those who may be interested in getting involved with helping Water Wheel preserve the past to add to the interest of this community.
