Of this spot, on slightly higher ground, just on the edge of the Karaponia crest, with the acacia grove feathering the abrupt slope to the swamp a hundred feet below, is the place where two Armstrong guns were posted to shell the pa. A tall bluegum marks the exact spot; at its foot are the fern-grown remains of a short parapet,... the gun emplacement.
It was estimated that about 40, 000 rounds of ammunition were fired by the troops during the three days' fighting at Orakau.
