Kakanui River

In 1866 breccia was discovered near the Waiareka outlet and Gees Point and the following year the creation of a harbour at Kakanui to transport the stone was investigated. In 1868 a harbour wall and jetties were created at the mouth of the river.^[2] A port was constructed in 1870 and the New Zealand Meat Preserving Company was established that same year. In 1884 the harbour walls and jetties were demolished and two years later a storm wrecked the harbour.^[2][3]
