The Road to Taumarunui - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand
Day 36: Today we are road tripping to Taumarunui in the Manawatu-Wanganui region of New Zealand! It’s part of the New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year web series!
Yesterday - Day 35 -
Tomorrow – Day 37 – Check in tomorrow!
About this video:
So today we are leaving Piopio and now delving through a few different districts of New Zealand on this road trip. Unlike our other videos where we are doing 365 Days: 365 Activities, this day brings us nothing but rain but some pretty cool countryside scenery around the Taumarunui area. But don’t worry, we are still doing 365 Days: 365 Activities and we sure as hell will make up for it later! We’ll do a couple of activities in a day if we have to! (Not that we’re complaining). In the meantime, enjoy our nonsense as we travel through the King Country, the Horizons Region and into the Ruapehu district.

Forgotten World Highway is one of 10 themed highways in New Zealand. It starts in Stratford and goes through picturesque regions of Taranaki and Ruapehu, ending up in Taumarunui. Only 150kms long, it is one of the most unique tourist attractions in New Zealand.
There are many points of interest on the Forgotten World Highway including beautiful town of Stratford, independent republic of Whangamomona (and historic Whangamomona Hotel), Mt Damper Falls, old tunnel, Lauren's Lavender Farm and, of course, amazing views at highest mountains of New Zealand's North Island - Mt Taranaki and Mt Ruapehu. It's great for people enjoying driving, hiking, sightseeing and other adventures. An absolute must-do activity for everyone travelling to New Zealand.
Close to the Forgotten World Highway you can find the largest alpaca farm in New Zealand - Nevalea Alpacas. You can meet these friendly animals here all year round and have a tour around the farm or feed alpacas.

Exploring Stratford in Taranaki - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand
Day 52: Today we are heading into Stratford in Taranaki to explore the town that calls itself the Shakespeare Town of New Zealand!
Yesterday - Day 51 -
Tomorrow – Day 53 –
About this video:
Today we are continuing our trip around the Taranaki region of New Zealand by checking out the town of Stratford. Stratford is famous for being the Shakespeare town of New Zealand thanks to street names after various characters from Shakespeare, as well as the Stratford Glockenspiel that does a performance four times a day.
First thing we do when we arrive in Stratford in Taranaki is check out the famous Stratford Glockenspiel for ourselves. It does a performance of Romeo and Juliet every day at 10m, 1pm, 3pm and 7pm. You can find the Stratford Glockenspiel right in the centre of Stratford.
After that, we look around a few shops and art galleries then settle in cafe in Stratford called Cafe x.o.x which is super quirky and a great way to stay out of the rain.
Finally, we check in at the Stratford Holiday Park before making our way to some walks around the Patea River including a swing bridge.
So what do you think of Stratford in Taranaki? Let us know in the comments below!

THE FORGOTTEN WORLD HIGHWAY - Travel New Zealand - Vlog #52
Stratford - Whangamomona - Tongariro Nationalpark
From Stratford I started my trip towards the Waitomo Caves. I decided to take the famous Forgotten World Highway, which was only 150 kilometres long, but a highly memorable driving journey.
The only village on this Highway was Whangamomona where I could get a stamp for my passport at the historic hotel because it's a own republic in New Zealand!
I ended up at a lost campground in the middle of the Tongariro Nationalpark where I had the coldest night since I'm in New Zealand.
Enjoy this video :)

Forgotten World Highway Farmstay - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand
Day 40: Today we are joining our Forgotten World Highway farmstay family in New Zealand for a crazy day of beekeeping for manuka honey and a trip to Fossil Canyon!
Yesterday - Day 39 -
Tomorrow – Day 41 –
About this video:
It’s Day 40 of New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year and today we are on our Forgotten World Highway Farmstay in New Zealand. We are spending the day with our farmstay family down the Forgotten World Highway in a place called Tangarakau Ghost Town.
First thing we’re doing is going with Simon to do some bee-keeping to see how New Zealand’s famous manuka honey is made! We put on the bee suits and everything!
Next we are joined by another family, then it’s onto the 4x4 gaiter for a gnarly trip to fossil canyon. It’s a crazy experience and so classically Kiwi. We are loving our time in Tangarakau Ghost Town down the Forgotten World Highway!
Tonight, we are saying goodbye to our farmstay in New Zealand family and hitting the road to our next unusual destination down the Forgotten World Highway. You will have to tune in tomorrow to see why this place is so special!

Your Guide to Wanganui - New Zealand
Wanganui - The River City
75km northwest of Palmerston North, the district of Wanganui (or 'Whanganui' -- either is acceptable) is rich in both Maori history and the conveniences of modern, urban life. The river of the same name (on which the main city stands), is a kayaker's delight, at 260km long, while the area's stunning scenery and ease of access make it a popular destination for holidaymakers.
