DescriptionHistory of Deborah Bay, or Kaparukakaha, as it was known to early Maori, was a place that captured the imagination of the early European settlers who extablished their homes there. It became a place of endeavour, entrepreneurial spirit and a close community where generations of locals built their homes and enhanced their lives through hard work and the pioneering ingenuity that is reflected in the number of industries associated with the modest bay. The Lower Otago Harbour's history if full of colourful characters, hard working settlers and brave attempts at industry. |
