Shona Ratana How I loved swimming in those Baths as a child. At every opportunity I would Catch the bus from Dobson to Greymouth, then walk quite a long way to the swimming baths during the summer months We also walked to the baths with our school classes. I learnt to swim during the miners strike at the power station end of our street. Happy memories
