Taumarunui · Taumarunui

Taumarunui grew where the Whanganui and Ōngarue rivers meet, deep in the King Country on the North Island Main Trunk railway. It is the eastern end of the Forgotten World Highway and the main jumping-off point for multi-day canoe journeys down the Whanganui River. Rail heritage runs deep here, with the famous Raurimu Spiral climbing the ranges just to the south.
