Tīrau sits where State Highways 1 and 5 meet in the south Waikato, a name that means 'place of many cabbage trees' and a town that turned a quiet farming stop into a tourist magnet. It is the self-styled corrugated iron capital of the world, where a giant tin sheep and sheepdog built in the 1990s house a wool shop and the visitor centre, joined over the years by a pukeko, a praying mantis and other roadside sculptures. The short main street is packed with cafés, antiques and gift shops that make it one of the most popular pit stops between Auckland and the central North Island.
