Walk 19: Wairere Falls, 5th Sept 2019
The Wairere Falls in the Kaimai ranges are the highest falls in the North Island of NZ.
Besides the grandeur of the falls, this site has one of the most important stories in the history of New Zealand. NZ Christian history and culture is built on it.
I tell Torore’s story on the video.

Tarore’s story: NZ history and culture is built on it.
Tarore was from the Ngati Haua tribe. Her father was Ngakuku, a nephew of the great Te Waharoa, and himself a chief of the Ngati Haua of Tainui.
When Tarore’s little book came down to Otaki, the warrior chief Te Rauparaha heard the message and built the Rangiatea Church.
If you would like to receive your own personal copy of the Tarore Story it will be posted free of charge to you by those dedicated to her memory.
