Hawkes Bay to Rotorua, New Zealand

The Sulphur Bath is not well named as it has never been used for bathing because it has a pH of 1 which means it is like a very strong acid! According to the information provided, Rotorua Maori used to spray the water from this mud pool over their fruit and vegetables as an insecticide. Because it is a natural product it degrades over time so you can eat the fruit and vegetables without having to wash them first. Select the photo below to see more of this area.
