Description
Small lake between Lakes Waikare and Ohinewai, 3km East North-east of Ohinewai locality. Block VIII Rangiriri Survey District.; This lake had been formed over the years during drainage operations, and it's level had now become stable. The lake and it's environs had become nesting grounds for three species of Shags, and was one of the two only known habitats of the Little Black Shag. An area around it was to be reserved fro Wildlife Management in the near future. Mr Alex McKay from the Maori Queen's Official residence at Turangawaewae, confirmed that Rotokawau would be appropriate for this piece of water. Roto meaning lake, and kawau for Black Shag. No record in Board Minutes can be found.
