From: New Zealand Free Lance : Photographic prints and negatives
Reference: PAColl-8163-26

The rock is planted with forestry pine. Photograph taken in August 1955, by an unidentified photographer for the Free Lance. Inscriptions: Verso - top right - File / Photo [... illegible]; Verso - top centre - 1/12 x 3 1/14 Friday 5/8/55; Verso - bottom centre - Published 17 Aug 1955 Page 34 [publication stamp]; Verso - bottom centre - REMARKABLE ROCK FORTRESS. "As we approached Atiamuri there came into view the old Maori stronghold, Powhateroa [sic: Pohaturoa], round whose feet the river runs. Pine forest clothes its cone-shaped sides and out of them, as though the top had been pushed up by a giant's finger, rise sheer cliffs capped again with pines. `Like the head of a Fijian warrior' was the description we heard."
