Camerons Laughing gas pool

'was described in the local paper in 1931 as 'a hot pool, the gases from which banished the deepest gloom in peal after peal of laughter'  Hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide gases emitted from the surface apparently produced a reaction similar to the dentists laughing gas, nitrous oxide. They also caused fainting which made bathing quite dangerous.  
I can't imagine anyone considering bathing here - the water's simmering now and I'm sure it would have been much hotter then and the sulphur smell would have been much stronger then.
