Introducing Te Awamutu
Te Awamutu (which means ‘The River Cut Short’; the Waikato beyond this point was unsuitable for large canoes) is a service town for dairy farmers. It’s got a pleasant main street and a decent museum, but unless you’re a Finn fan you’ll probably be content to stop here on your way somewhere else. It does, reputedly, have the best toilets in NZ.
