Ä€tiamuri is a former hydro village in the central North Island of New Zealand. It lies alongside State Highway 1 about 27 km south of Tokoroa and 38 km north of TaupÅ. It is bordered by the Waikato River and surrounded by pine plantations. Upper Ä€tiamuri, just north of the Waikato River, is a small community of lifestyle blocks, dairy farms and farm servicing businesses.
Pohaturoa Rock [3] (520 m) (also known as Mount Pohaturoa) [4] is a distinctive volcanic plug that dominates the landscape. It overlooks Lake Ä€tiamuri which was formed behind the hydroelectric Atiamuri Power Station. This very visible rocky outcrop is significant in both Arawa and NgÄti Raukawa history, having been a strategic observation post during intertribal conflicts. [5]
Demographics
The area known as Ātiamuri is entirely within the Waikato Regional Council area but is in three district council areas: Rotorua Lakes, [6] South Waikato [7] and Taupo. [8] Ātiamuri village is in the TaupŠDistrict.
