The southerners love their corrugated iron

Description

The South Waikato region is the heartland of the North Island and the land supplies a large proportion of locally sold and exported primary produce (wood, beef and dairy). Land use is mostly farmland and forestry, but the region does have some notable attractions including the Hotpools at Tokaanu [1], trout fishing at Turangi [2], the Kiwihouse at Otorohanga [3], and of course New Zealands largest lake, Lake Taupo.

Links

The South Waikato region even has a council website [4].
