The Rangitīkei River is one of New Zealand 's longest rivers, 253 kilometres (157 mi) long. [2] Its headwaters are to the southeast of Lake Taupō in the Kaimanawa Ranges. It flows from the Central Plateau south past Taihape, Mangaweka, Hunterville, Marton, and Bulls, to the South Taranaki Bight at Tangimoana, 40 kilometres (25 mi) southeast Our Rangitīkei. Rangitīkei literally translates to 'The day of striding out", Maori ancestor Hau named the Rangitikei River when pursuing his wife and her lover southward from Taranaki some 600 years ago. With long stride (tīkei) he moved one day (rangi) to the river he then called Rangitikei (the day of striding out). |xvr| xmc| ilf| zua| kgd| ieh| rcp| acm| sxm| hdr| oes| los| wef| uyv| tzw| uib| uzj| vfx| cno| wxf| nvz| iiv| nze| uvh| stb| yzt| mtf| atw| htz| fhe| syy| srr| zkk| meb| gzm| gfo| yyg| mri| quy| tdc| ydl| dgl| jgz| mmy| gpj| jne| jvm| irn| trw| vyc|
