King Country history
Waitomo Cave is a very famous tourist attraction. It is situated in a region called “King Country”. Why “King Country”? How does the name come about ?
In NZ history, there was a Maori King Movement. There was war and confrontation between Maori & British troops in Waikato region. After a lot of fight, the Maori King retreated into Waitomo area and continue the fight. That’s why it is called King Country. King Country is a lime stone area with a lot of lime stone caves. We are going to talk about this part of the history and also explore some interesting lime stone area.
