Very interesting thanks for your great work 😅

[@warrenhall-z7s]

gday m8. in nineteen seventy i worked on a large sheep station just out of ohura. i worked there for two years. i used to go to the cozey club on a saturday night. i used to shop at the genaral store. i now live at the bottom of the south island. the station was called hawea hills. sheep and stud angus cattle. i looked up the farm a while ago on the computar and boy has it changed.

[@miriamearsman7279]

OMG THANK YOU! This is my hometown and I felt a real rush of nostalgia as it made think of my childhood days where everybody new everybody watching this. I haven’t been back home for over 30yrs and two days ago was thinking of returning to visit the my home. Just a couple of things I will correct: the big white building which was a prison for white collar offenders was a Mens Hostel for the miners when the coal mines were operating. That place was where I got my very first job after leaving school as a waitress in 1965. One building you mentioned was a church: but it wasn’t, it was a community hall where functions were held. My daughter had her birthday in that hall and my dad used play in a band for dances, birthdays and cabarets and every other event that happened. Thank you so much for job well down your filming is great someone has good steady hands at videoing. Loved it. I will definitely follow and journey with you wherever you go cause I know all the abandon towns you will visit. You must be happy👉 tramping thru the long grass and never have to worry about snakes. 🙄🤪

[@johnormsby2034]

55yrs ago as a young lad from PioPio High School, we'd go to Ohura to play rugby & I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nostalgic but sad to see abandoned shops & buildings! How can we breath life back into our nearly forgotten Towns??🤔

[@juliaforsyth8332]

Not allowed to build there due to being a flood plain, so probably can't get it going again.

[@themadcollecter4988]

The old prison was originally the mine offices... my Dad worked on it as an apprentice carpenter in the 1950's. Later it became a 'white collar' prison & then later it housed drug dealers & pedos as well. It was much bigger when it was a prison with many out-buildings & big organic gardens with massive greenhouses. In 2005 they closed it & removed everything but the original mine buildings... it was then sold to an Iwi, who then on-sold it to a private owner... now it belongs to the Hope Foundation who are part of the Seventh Day Adventist network. It is used as a rehab centre I believe. All those 'dead' houses around it were prison owned houses for staff etc... one was being used as a Police station for years.

[@janehobden6709]

I've just been reading that my Uncle Bill Aitchison worked on that job as well. J

[@patu5798]

The iwi will want it back again in another 150 years when you will be able to claim if your 1 in 300 Māori

[@repetanorton3174]

Oh thank you very much for sharing your story. Really fascinating to know more on this town. We were reading and we were like ohhhh wow, interesting and now talking on taking a day trip to explore the town that once had the life and those who lived there. Thank you

[@miriamearsman7279]

Who was your aunty. I went to school there, it was my hometown. And your correct in saying the prison was a coal miners hostel. It was my very first job working there after I left act in 1965. The prisoners did a great job with their gardening.

[@miriamearsman7279]

Did you have a cousin called Susan Aitchison and then went to Ahititi and owned a grocery store there?

[@pouwakaruwhiu8349]

My home town that I grew up in Ohura was an awesome place to live in back in the early 1960 , I now reside in Australia for over 48 yrs.

[@miriamearsman7279]

You had to be related to Lucy, John. They had a brother who drowned in the Ohura river. Was as always a sad time for everyone.

[@pouwakaruwhiu8349]

Yes was 😢 for the Whanau, Lucy and John are my older brother and sister, by the way we landed in Ohura in 1958 I was born in 1956 over in Wamiha.

[@tahliarose5425]

This is so nostalgic to me, I used to go visit my Aunty in ohura and I used to love it. I remember when the shops were open (well only the general store in my day) thanks for posting this brought back so many memories

[@TheForsakenExplorerNz]

Your welcome 🙂👍

[@repetanorton3174]

I live in New Plymouth and far out I didn’t even know anything about this little town out in the wop wop. I couldn’t help but feel the spirit’s of those who once lived, walked in this town. I was so fascinated to the old building that stood once, booming with people and the abandoned houses. We are going to take a day trip to visit and explore. I know myself, I’ll be crying, not with sadness but with joy exploring of what the People had left behind.

[@stuboyd1194]

I was basically the last Policeman that lived and worked in Ohura, 1993 to 1995, my office was in the old laundry of the Police house, no computer... Lana's shop, Kahlil Motors was still going, the prison was over the back fence, my two kids attended the local school, we socialised at the Cossie club down the road....remember my wife was invited to the annual harvest festival...she thought that was great until we discussed it and decided that was not such a great idea, 😀 but some great people living in the town and I enjoyed the couple of years we had there, very fond memories

[@yeshualives5989]

Im a former inmate during the early 2000s. We literally walked through the town ship to play league at local rugby field. You could basically walk out the Gates if you wanted to escape but it was that laid back you didnt want to escape. I remember 2 56 chevs full of mobsters driving into the compound to pick up one of their members. Crazy lol. I also remember 2 guys who allegedly got raped by the cook. They told the guards and they instantly became targets because they told. In jail if something happened to you, youd better do something about it or keep quiet. Even though it was looked at as being a punishable act raping someone. Telling on that person was worse. Totally forgot about this place
