Waiouru Attractions

A few kilometers south of Tongariro National Park, on Highway 1, is Waiouru (pop. 3000). In these inhospitable uplands (alt. c 800m) covered with tussock grass is the largest military camp in New Zealand, with an extensive training area. The little town has the highest railroad station on the North Island. In good weather there is a fine view of the volcanic mountains in the Tongariro area.
Queen Elizabeth II Army Memorial Museum
The Queen Elizabeth II Army Memorial Museum contains uniforms and equipment of the New Zealand army and dioramas of world-famous battlefields.
