Notable people with the surname include: Alfred Warbrick (1860–1940), New Zealand rugby union player Arthur Warbrick ( c.  1863 – 1902), New Zealand rugby union player Billy Warbrick ( c.  1866 – 1901), New Zealand rugby union player Doug Warbrick (born 1942), Australian businessman Fred Warbrick (1869–1904), New Zealand rugby union player Joe Warbrick (1862–1903), New Zealand rugby union player Stephen Warbrick , American animator, producer, voice actor and writer William Warbrick (born 1998), New Zealand professional rugby league footballer [REDACTED] Surname list This page lists people with

60-514: A concert party performer and guide at Whakarewarewa. Warbrick continued working as a guide until retirement, becoming the subject of the James Cowan 's 1934 book Adventures in Geyserland . He died on 19 May 1940 and was buried at Whakarewarewa . Georgina Warbrick died in 1953, and Warbrick's other wife, Iripu Edie Warbrick of Whakarewarewa, died in 1958. Lake Rotomahana Lake Rotomahana

90-425: A lake floor crater created in 1886. The lake is a wildlife refuge (and was one prior to first contact), with all hunting of birds prohibited. A healthy population of black swan inhabits the lake, and there are efforts underway to ensure the lake's largest island, Pātītī Island, is kept pest-free. Recent research confirms Pātītī Island is the closest surviving pre-eruption feature on the old lake, i.e. to survive

120-520: A local guide, and worked in this capacity for the next few years. He contested the Eastern Maori electorate in the 1887 election and came third of four candidates. He never accepted that the Pink and White Terraces at Lake Rotomahana were destroyed, and became involved in the public debates concerning their fate. In 1903 he was appointed as head guide of the trip to Waimangu Geyser  – then

150-640: A result it is the most recently formed large natural lake in New Zealand, and at 118 m (387 ft) deep, the deepest in the Rotorua district. The former official depth was previously 112.4 m (369 ft), at a lower lake level and with less precise equipment. The lake bottom currently has up to 37 m (121 ft) of sediments, which means the Rotomahana crater bottom is 185 m (607 ft) above sea level. The lake's northern shore lies close to

180-417: Is an 890-hectare (2,200-acre) lake in northern New Zealand , located 20 kilometres to the south-east of Rotorua . It is immediately south-west of the dormant volcano Mount Tarawera , and its geography was substantially altered by a major 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera . Along with the mountain, it lies within the Ōkataina Caldera . It is the most recently formed larger natural lake in New Zealand, and

210-467: Is at least three times higher than that either beneath Lake Rotorua or Lake Taupō . The latest determination is 47 MW. The hydrothermal system that feeds still active geothermal features on the lake shore and had fed the Pink Terraces at the western side of the lake, has a heat flux of 21.3 W/m . There is an area southwest of Pātītī Island that has a heat flux averaging 13 W/m that appears to be in

240-631: Is different from Wikidata All set index articles Alfred Warbrick Alfred Patchett Warbrick (24 February 1860 – 19 May 1940) was a New Zealand boatbuilder, rugby player and tourist guide. Warbrick was the first of five children of Abraham Warbrick, an English immigrant, and Nga Karauna Paerau, a Māori woman and the daughter of a Ngāti Rangitihi chief. After his mother died, his father remarried and had seven more children. Four of his brothers – Arthur , Fred , Joe and Billy  – went on to tour Britain, Ireland and Australia with Alfred as part of

270-541: Is some 100 metres in diameter. It takes its name from its distinctive colour, which is considerably greener and darker than that of Rotomahana. The lake formed after the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera. Prior to the eruption, a small (~12m diameter) lakelet also known as Green Lake (Lake Rotopounamu) had existed to the north of Lake Rotomahana in Waikanapanapa Valley but this was exhumed during the Tarawera eruption. After

300-407: The 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera . In the context of the geological discussion it is important to note a high standard hydrophonic survey took place in 2016 and the actual absolute measurements taken at this time, as lake level varies, are used for geological baseline. At this time the lake level was 340 m (1,120 ft), not the geographically mapped height of 337 m (1,106 ft), or

330-497: The 1888–89 New Zealand Native football team . For his education, Warbrick was sent to the Catholic school at Takapuna , near Auckland . There, with the help of the minister for native affairs Donald McLean , Warbrick became an apprentice to the boatbuilder Charles Bailey. He was working with Bailey from age 14 to 24, and practiced rowing, yachting, hunting and rugby in his free time. In 1888 he and his four brothers were included into

390-544: The 1886 eruption, being formerly known as Rangipakaru Hill. There is no public access to the lake, save for the Tourist Track, overland from Lake Tarawera. A boat cruise on the lake, visiting hydrothermal features on the lake's shore, is available as an additional extra from the Waimangu Volcanic Valley tourism operation. The nitrogen load on the lake is stable, but has high trophic level index inflow from

420-488: The 39-metre (128 ft) lower Lake Tarawera , separated by less than 700 metres (2,300 ft) of terrain that is mostly material from the 1886 eruption. The original Lake Rotomahana has a slightly controversial level with respect to that of Lake Tarawera before 1886, partially because the eruption also changed the level of Lake Tarawera and there was a later lowering of Lake Tarawera's level around 1904. The consensus range of difference with current water level between

450-511: The Lake Tarawera catchment with an outflow, depending upon the size of the catchments so defined, of between 1,125–3,018 L/s (39.7–106.6 cu ft/s). Before the 1886 eruption, two small lakes were present in the current lake's basin and perhaps six smaller ponds. The other lake was called Lake Rotomakariri . After the eruption a new Lake Rotomakariri to its east briefly existed before being incorporated by lake level rise into

480-546: The New Zealand Native Football Team, which was captained by Joe Warbrick. Earlier in 1885 Alfred moved to Te Wairoa , to work as a boatbuilder in the Lake Rotorua district and to help Joe in his land business. Besides that, Alfred also built a public hall at Wairoa. After the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera , Alfred and his brothers Arthur and Joe joined the rescue operations. Alfred established himself as

510-506: The Okaro catchment via the Haumi Stream. The Pink and White Terraces were a natural wonder on the shores of the lake before the 1886 eruption. They were considered to be the eighth wonder of the natural world and were New Zealand's most famous tourist attraction during the 19th century, from c. 1870-1886; but were buried or destroyed by the eruption. Scientists thought they had rediscovered

540-449: The deepest in the Rotorua district. The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "warm lake" for Rotomahana , following Hochstetter . and the surrounds of the lake had become world famous following its first European written description in 1843. Lake Rotomahana is one of the most studied lakes in New Zealand, occupying the southwestern portion of a 17-kilometre-long (11 mi) rift which formed during

570-526: The eruption craters; it appears likely any sunken forest lies in the north-east corner of the new lake. The placement of the sunken forest would have been post-eruption, via the mechanism described by the US Forest Service after the Mt. St. Helens eruption. The trees were uprooted in the eruption and propelled into the crater during or after the eruption. As the new lake formed over decades, the trunks floated for

600-574: The eruption, water flowed into the new Green Lake crater, which was given the same name as the older lake. Other pre-eruption lakes and lakelets about Lake Rotomahana included Lakes Rotomakariri, Rangipakaru, Ruahoata and Wairake. The shape, location and orientation of Lake Makariri in Cole, 1970 (cited herein) is incorrect. He followed August Petermann's flawed map. Hochstetter shows the lake axis lay at an azimuth of 355 degrees. Recent research into these lake levels gave insight into changes at Lake Rotomahana in

630-488: The lake in 1859. Hochstetter's journals are the only known survey of the terraces before the eruption. Using Hochstetter's field diaries and compass data, a team of New Zealand researchers identified a location where they believe the Pink and White Terraces lie preserved at a depth of 10–15 metres (32–49 ft). The researchers were hoping to raise funds for a full survey of the area, but any work would first have to be approved by

660-557: The largest geyser in the world – organised by the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts. On 30 August 1903, the geyser suddenly erupted killing Joe and three other tourists in vicinity. On 30 December 1880 Warbrick married Florence Sarah Mays, the daughter of a storekeeper, at Devonport , Auckland. They had three sons born between 1882 and 1885. Warbrick had a fourth son with Ngapuia Tupara, born in 1893 or 1894, and at least four more children with Georgina Te Rauoriwa Strew,

690-470: The lead-up to the eruption. One forgotten lake feature is the semi-mythical sunken totara forest of Lake Rotomahana. In 2016 when a scuba team first dove the lake, they found no evidence of a sunken forest or trees, as reported by Fitzgerald off Moura. While there were forests over the pre-eruption Mt Tarawera, Tōtara trees were scattered and only recorded over the western and southern mountain flanks.   Given Tōtara tree groves could hardly appear in

720-403: The local Māori tribe on whose sacred ancestral land the Pink and White Terraces are situated. Ground penetrating radar searches were undertaken in 2017 but the equipment failed to penetrate sufficiently deeply to show whether or not the terraces lay in their surveyed locations. Later Hochstetter survey research refined the Pink, Black and White Terrace locations. The issue of whether any of

750-447: The lower tiers of the Pink and White Terraces on the lake bed at a depth of 60 metres (200 ft) in 2011. More recent research reports over 2016-2020 suggest the upper parts of both terraces lie on land and may therefore be accessed for physical evidence the terraces or sections of them survived in their original locations. The 2017- research relied on the journals of German-Austrian geologist Ferdinand von Hochstetter , who visited

780-457: The mean height of 338.7 m (1,111 ft). Lake Rotomahana has no natural surface outlet, and its water level varies by about one metre in response to rainfall and evaporation. There is now an engineered surface channel to maintain maximum lake level. Hydrogeologic models of the catchments in the Ōkataina Caldera predict that the Lake Rotomahana catchment is contributing subsurface to

810-449: The northeast. One or other of the lakes that existed before the eruption is the likely origin of shells of water-snails found, in a sample of fresh ash from Tauranga , and in an ash sample from Cape Runaway . Essentially the new crater evacuated material to a depth of at least 60 m (200 ft) where the pre-eruption lakes had been and possibly as much as 80 m (260 ft) in places. The current average conductive heat flux

840-413: The old and current Lake Rotomahana appears to be 35–48 m (115–157 ft). The original lake formed in an area of mostly rhyolytic eruptives and would have also been associated with lake sediments deposited at least in the time since the 1314 ± 12 CE Kaharoa eruption of Mount Tarawera. The eruption process which was basaltic deposited muddy material widely and many metres thick especially to

870-499: The present lake. The now lake floor was mostly dry when surveyed in the period 1886 to 1888 after the eruption, and it is possible to match these observations with current geolocated hydrophonic findings. High quality pictures of the old Lake Rotomahana and associated tourist attractions were widely available in Europe by 1875. Following the eruption, a number of craters filled over the course of 15 years to form today's Lake Rotomahana. As

900-424: The terraces remain continues to remain unresolved. A small lake, Green Lake, lies close to the eastern shore of Lake Rotomahana at 38°15′00″S 176°28′18″E  /  38.25000°S 176.47167°E  / -38.25000; 176.47167 . It should not be confused by the much larger Lake Rotokakahi (Green Lake) , which lies to the west of Rotomahana. Green Lake was formed in a roughly circular crater and
