cities =Lake Tutira is a body of water in northeastern
Hawke's Bay ,New Zealand .Much of the area was surveyed by
Herbert Guthrie-Smith , who farmed 60,000 acres (240 km²) surrounding the lake. Guthrie-Smith, a naturalist, published "Tutira: the story of a New Zealand sheep station" in 1921. Today, a camp is run at the site of his homestead.The lake contains a high-resolution record of the sedimentation since its formation about 6,500 years ago.cite journal
