They say the floods were the streams and wetlands of Taamaki reminding us they’re still here. Reasserting themselves after years of being buried in pipes and culverts. Tawariki St was a stream. An old map from 1908 shows a pretty clearly defined waterway flowing down into the headwaters of Cox’s Bay.
