History of Moana

 On Tuesday last week Kevin Klempel came into our class and taught us about the history of Moana and I got lots of facts. Here is some of them: 

  • It took 30 days to get to Christchurch from Moana because they didn't have cars.
  • There were lots of swamps in Moana back then.
  • People from Christchurch started coming in the 1940's and most of them were fishermen.
  • The Arnold Dam was built because power was getting used more.
  • At the bottom of Lake Brunner there were lots of sawdust from the sawmill.
  • The Arnold dam was built by the Greymouth power board. 
Did you learn something about the facts that I have here?
