Tourist Guide Hawera
Hawera can be described as the 2nd-biggest town located in Taranaki area of ‘New Zealand’s’ North Island.
Hawera is situated adjoining coast of South Taranaki Bight; at the distance of 75 Km on the southern side of ‘New Plymouth’ along State Highway 3; and at 20 minutes’ drive with respect to Mount Egmont or Mount Taranaki.
Hawera is home of the biggest dairy factory complex within Southern Hemisphere. Fonterra is the owner of this complex.
The word ‘Hawera’ means ‘burnt place’ in ‘Maori’. This nomenclature was attained out of fight between 2 local sub-tribes; that went on to culminate in to burning of sleeping whare of tribe ‘under attack’. Moreover, the name was thought to be apt following ablazes in the years 1884, 1888, and 1912.
