Sights in Dargaville

  1. Dargaville Museum

    Perched on top of a hill, the Dargaville Museum is more interesting than most. There’s a large gumdigging display, plus maritime, Maori and musical-instrument sections and a neat model railway. Outside, the masts of the Rainbow Warrior are mounted at a lookout near a pa site.

  2. Taha Awa Riverside Gardens

    In the centre of town, Taha Awa Riverside Gardens has cool stuff for the kids, including a playground shaped like a tall ship and a whale jawbone. You’ll also find a fernery, and swamp, coastal and scented gardens. The 5km Historic River Walk starts its loop here; pick up a brochure from the information centre and follow the yellow signs up to the museum.
