"The first thing you notice about Rotorua is the smell. The area is actively volcanic, and the bubbling mud pools and geysers add a tang of sulphur to the air. The tectonic plates that fuel the Pacific "Ring of Fire” groan just under the earth's crust, creating remarkable tourist attractions while threatening to destroy them at the same time. The most famous example of this were the Pink and White terraces. Known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," these formations attracted thousands of international visitors but were destroyed overnight in 1886 when the nearby volcano, Tarawera, erupted. The indigenous Maori population had utilized the geothermal activity in the area long before it was packaged as an attractive spa destination. Indeed the local tribe, Te Arawa, came to resent the increasing numbers of European setters in the late 1800s, resulting in several skirmishes. Careful mediation has led to the settlement of most historic grievances. The local Maori population now skilfully explait their heritage for the benefit of modern tourists, while ensuring their rich culture is tastefully preserved. Visitors flock in their thousands to see the beautiful lakes, hot pools, and Maori carvings. However, some tension, bubbling under the surface, remains. This was most famously captured by the writer Alan Duff in his book, (later made into a successful movie), Once Were Warriors (1990). Duff grew up in the city, and the setting for his fictional story is "Two Lakes" — the English translation of the placename, Rotorua. In a young nation, Rotorua is a reminder of New Zealand's rich indigenous history, geology, and Incredible natural beauty."
