Interesting facts about this location
Naval Communications Station Irirangi
The Naval Communications Station Irirangi of the Royal New Zealand Navy, which is 2 km north of Waiouru and near the Waiouru Army Camp, was established in WWII (1943) as the Waiouru W/T (Wireless Telegraph) Station. Its location, in the middle of the North Island, put it far away from the sea. The station was commissioned in July 1943, and at the peak period of the war had an establishment of about 150 personnel, of whom more than eighty were women.

Rangitikei
Rangitikei is an area in New Zealand that follows the course of State Highway 1, from just south of Waiouru with the QEII Army Memorial Museum, through Taihape, Mangaweka, Hunterville, Marton and Bulls, and then winds down a minor road to the coast at Turakina & Scott’s Ferry. Often overlooked when accessing many New Zealand "search" menus, the area is emerging as one of the last few "undiscovered" regions for both home-grown and international tourists.
