POSTPONEMENT of Cultural Storyboards opening and blessing

Waitomo District Council, with the support of Ngāti Rōrā, have made a call to POSTPONE the official opening and blessing of the Mangaokewa Walkway Cultural Storyboards. This is due to areas of the walkway suffering from washouts and flooding from recent weather events. The installation of the storyboards and blessing will be held later in the year, which will allow for the walkway to be repaired and stabilised. We thank you for your understanding.

Thousands flock to the Great NZ Muster

It will be a day to remember for the Waitomo District after hosting one of the most successful street festival events since its inception, The Great New Zealand Muster. 

Thousands of people from all over the world flocked to Te Kūiti on Saturday 29 March to take part in the festivities.
The Great NZ Muster supports the annual three-day-long NZ Shearing Championships and NZ Shears Running of the Sheep.

The town was a buzz and the streets were full of people. Stall numbers increased on previous years, and patronage was an all time high.
The Harmonic Resonators was also a popular hit with the crowd with their amazing melodies and unique take on classic popular songs.


Thank you to everyone for an amazing day and an even bigger thank you to Universal Beef Packers, The Lines Company, NZ Shearing Committee and Tomotuki Marae.
