Hawera, nous dirions qu’il ne faut pas le manquer pour le musée Tawhiti, une perle historique !
Ce musée vous raconte toute l’histoire de la colonisation du 19ème siècle, où britanniques, chasseurs de baleine et marins ont envahi la région de « Taranaki ».
Les reconstitutions de grandeur nature, tant bien pour les personnages que pour les environnements sont époustouflants.
Ils ont également une gigantesque collection de machines agricoles.
Le modélisme, les reconstitutions, l’amabilité des gérants et les explications historiques en font un lieu incontournable de Nouvelle Zélande ! Nous y avons passé plus de 2 heures et avons adoré.
Prix : 15 NZD/personne
Vous pouvez également payer 15 NZD/personne en plus pour aller faire le tour « Traders & Whalers ». Vous monterez dans une petite barque et ferez le tour d’une reconstitution d’un village maori à taille humaine. Cela en vaut le coup (mais pas spécialement le coût …)

Tawhiti Museum Hawera, New Zealand ???????? | Maori History | IPHONE X SHOOT |
In 1975 Nigel and Teresa Ogle bought the 70 year old Tawhiti Cheese factory.
As a child, Nigel had delivered milk to the factory with his father in their farm truck, but he could never have imagined that he would one day convert that same building into a museum.
What started out as a hobby and a small private collection, grew rapidly with public demand to become the focus of an impressive visual history of South Taranaki.
The museum uses life size exhibits and scale models to capture the past in a series of super-realistic displays. All the displays - including the life size figures created from moulds cast from real people - are designed and built on the premises. In fact the 'body shop' - a series of three studios viewed as part of the museum visit - is Nigel's workshop where both scale model 'dioramas' and all the life size figures are built. Friends, relatives and local people have been coerced into allowing a casting to be made from their features - creating the very real images that have become a trademark of the Tawhiti Museum.
Now with seven separate tourism awards to it credit, the museum has become an important visitor attraction for South Taranaki as well as a valued educational facility.

We did some dancing there, and looked at the museum. It is one of the better museums I have seen on Morris dancing tours. The Traders and Whalers boat trip was a nice experience, but the use of cameras was discouraged.
South Taranaki Road Trip - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand
Day 57: Today we are embarking on a South Taranaki road trip seeing the Bread Capital, Manaia, going up the Hawera Water Tower and visiting the Patea Museum.
Yesterday - Day 56 -
Tomorrow – Day 58 –
About this video:
Today is our last day in the amazing Taranaki region of New Zealand and it all ends with a South Taranaki Road Trip! We are following recommendations from locals to visit a few places of interest before leaving the region.
First up is the Bread Capital, Manaia! Manaia is the Bread Capital with a huge bread sign and the whole town even smells like bread! We pick up some baked goods from the factory store and continue onto Hawera.
Hawera is famous for its huge water tower, so we pay our donations and head up the endless amount of stairs. At the top of the Hawera Water Tower, we get views of the surrounding town, farmland, coast and we’re supposed to see Mt Taranaki but it’s too overcast.
Nevertheless, we hit the road for our final South Taranaki destination, Patea, which is home to the Aotea Utanganui – Museum of South Taranaki which tells us a great deal about the Maori history of the area.
We leave the Taranaki region and enter Manawatu-Wanganui where our final destination today is in the city of Wanganui!
So what do you think of South Taranaki? Would you do a road trip in South Taranaki? Let us know in the comments!

The Puke Ariki Museum in Taranaki - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand
Day 44: Today we are doing a bit of a culture crawl in New Plymouth by visiting the Puke Ariki Museum in Taranaki then checking out a Gallery at Jetcharm event.
Yesterday - Day 43 -
Tomorrow – Day 45 –
About this video:
Today’s activity on New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year is the Puke Ariki Museum in Taranaki! The Puke Ariki Museum is in the centre of New Plymouth and the perfect rainy day activity in Taranaki.
The Puke Ariki Museum is full of exhibitions from Maori history to natural history and beyond. We spend way too much time in the kid’s exhibition playing on slides and playing on the interactive displays...
After spending a huge amount of time in the free Puke Ariki Museum in Taranki, we head back to our accommodation at the Ducks & Drakes Backpackers where we hear there is a gallery event happening at a barber shop in New Plymouth tonight called the Gallery at Jetcharm. It’s a small pop-up gallery that runs monthly events where a theme is chosen and people can submit their work to be on display on the gallery and put up for sale. It’s a great way for us to meet some creative locals in New Plymouth, Taranaki.
So what do you think of the Puke Ariki Museum in Taranaki? And how about the Gallery at Jetcharm? Let us know in the comments below!

Hawera Highschool News Story
A Ride on the Tawhiti Bush Railway
This was filmed on the 22nd of October, 2016.
As evidenced by the title, this is a recreation of a bush railway. The Tawhiti Museum is near the town of Hawera. It is only around 1 kilometre long, but it is a great insight into life on the bush tramways, many of which ran all over New Zealand, bringing logs from the forest to the sawmill. Places like Ongarue and Mamaku were the place to go if you wanted to see large bush tramway operations.
Sadly, bush tramways in New Zealand are a thing of the past, having succumbed to road competition. I will plead ignorant on that one, because I'm not too familiar with the history of bush tramways.
RM30 Silver Fern 'Great Forgotten Taranaki Rail Tour' 2015
One of the iconic Silver Fern railcars, picks up a tour group in Hawera and takes them down the Marton - New Plymouth Line for a coach transfer at Waverley in New Zealand's Taranaki Region.
The tour was marketed as the 'Great Forgotten Taranaki Rail Tour' and was organised by Pukekohe Travels. The tour group left Auckland on February 26 aboard the Northern Explorer express and travelled as far as Taumaranui. The group was bussed over the 'Forgotten World Highway' to New Plymouth. (Ashamedly, the parallel mainline railway over this route is not currently used by trains)
After three nights in New Plymouth the tour group rode aboard the charted Silver Fern railcar RM 30 to Hawera. This video begins with the group re-boarding their railcar after a lunch time visit to Tawhiti museum on the 1st of March.
Heading through rural pastureland and through Patea, the railcar carries the group to Waverley station where they transfer to coach for the last stretch to Wanganui. The video continues to follow the empty 'fern' to Wanganui. At Kai Iwi the railcar pulls into the loop (to await a hi rail vehicle on 'heat patrol' and milk train 544 - not included in this video).
The railcar cruises across the Whanganui River to East Town before changing direction and trundling down the Wanganui Branch past St Josephs Chapel at Cullinane College.
Later that night, the railcar was passed into the care of SteamRail Wanganui Inc who looked after it until it's passengers reboarded the following morning.
The reason the railcar could not carry it's tour group into Wanganui was because of a local street closure for a street-drag car event that would have prevented the coaches accessing the Wanganui freight yard. Waverley Station was chosen as a safe place for the passengers to disembark because of the platform of the defunct station museum.
Passenger services ceased on the MNPL in 1977. Today our national railway operator focuses on freight traffic along this line. The lines surviving passenger platforms such as the one at Hawera are unmaintained and can be treacherous for elderly passengers on trips such as this.
Its probably not recognised by our regional councils, but a railway station is still a 'gateway' representing it's particular town along the line for tourists who arrive on rail tours.
