New Zealand - Rotorua - Sunbathers on the sand at the Lake Okataina, one of the scenic gems of the Rotorua district - 1960s - Image from The Weekly News Annual #603982 - Lake Okataina is the northernmost and largest of four smaller lakes lying between Lake Rotorua and Lake Tarawera in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand's North Island. The others are Lake Rotokakahi (Green Lake), Lake Tikitapu (Blue Lake), and Lake Okareka. All lie within the Okataina caldera, along its western edge. - Unlike many other lakes in the region, Lake Okataina is completely encircled by native forest. It also has no inlets or outlets. Perhaps as a result, over the past 30 years, the level of the lake has risen and fallen in a range of about 5 metres. - The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "place of laughter" for Ōkataina.
