The first bridge to span the Uawa River at Tolaga Bay is shown after it was broken up by the biggest flood ever known in Tolaga Bay. This happened in 1916. The bridge was a steel and wooden structure and residents of Hauiti were rowed across the river to the township until a punt was available for service until a new bridge was built. Hori was still at school at that time and crossed the river many times during that period.
