Eleanor Morrison arrived in Opunake to be with her son Major Morrison (Armed Constabulary). She died on July 24th 1884, and was buried here as the Town Cemetery was flooded. This isolated grave was incorporated into this Heritage Wall in 1999. The Wall was designed and built by Ian Baker, a local volunteer.
The Opunake Shelter & Beautification Society have voluntarily designed and landscaped this area, the cliff top and developed many shelter belts within the Township since 1975. Most of the shelter trees were propagated by the society with assistance from the Opunake Lions Club and Volunteers.

Opunake Fire Station - Completed 1947
In 1947 men of the Opunake Fire Brigade built a fire engine using a 4-ton truck chassis and engine, and the tank of a petrol tanker. When the new Fire Station was opened by the Mayor, Mr G. C. Clouston, and the building and new fire engine were handed over to the Borough it was a great day in Opunake's history.
