    History of the Waioeka Gorge
    This page provides information about the history of the Waioeka Gorge district and the road through the area, State Highway 2 from Matawai to Opotiki. Members of the Redpath family (Jack Redpath, Stuart Redpath and his children) have lived at Wairata in the Gorge since the area was made available for settlement in 1906 and are one of the few original families still residing there.
