History of the Waiouru Area

By John Archer



Waiouru has morphed from a seabed full of shellfish to a walking route for Maori, an 1880s sheep station and then a WW2 army training area.

I wrote most of these articles between 2006 and 2010 for Waiouru's  Tussock Times so that my family and others posted to Waiouru could become time-travellers on their weekend outings. They were revised and placed on the internet in 2020.
