How was the Huka Falls in New Zealand formed?

Lake Taupo is the largest lake in New Zealand spanning about 622
km²; this is about the size of Singapore. Lake Taupo was formed by
a series of eruptions. The main Taupo eruption occurred in 181AD.
The most documented eruption in the Lake Taupo area is known as the
Oranui eruption. The Oranui eruption caused some distinct changes
in the landscape of the Taupo area. The most obvious of these
changes being the distribution of lakes in the area, and the course
of the Waikato River. Prior to the Oranui eruption a lake existed
in a different form, this lake is referred to as Lake Huka, and the
Waikato River is documented to have run out to the Pacific Ocean
via the Hauraki Gulf basin. After the Oranui eruption the landscape
was changed significantly, after a period of flooding, the form of
the modern Lake Taupo started to take shape. Over the years after
the Oruanui eruption the course of the Waikato River changed to
follow it's current route along the Hamilton basin and out into the
Tasman Sea.
