My favourite NZ town
We have been studying NZ culture, including NZ towns and their symbols. My favourite town is Kawakawa. The reason i love Kawakawa is because its my hometown but not just that it has such a great community,the amazing Huddertwasser art and museum,the only train that runs through the middle of statehighway 1 in New zealand and more. My favourite part of Kawakawa is the train they have running. It's such an iconic piece to Kawakawa. It has been running for over 100 years moving coal from Kawakawa to Taumarere where a steam boat would take it to Opua but then later on they had a track going from Kawakawa to Opua but no than line from Taumarere to Opua is now non existent but they still have passenger train rides to Taumarere and back.
Heres a picture of the Tawakawa train going through the middle of statehighway 1
Great post Rawiri! I liked your references to the history of the railway in Kawakawa. (Please edit your post and correct all the non-capitals for place names, and you (I).
