More about this image

Originally a timber town, founded during the heyday of kauri felling and gum digging, Dargaville is built along the edge of the wide Northern Wairoa River. Dairy farming is the main local industry; the district also produces around two thirds of New Zealand’s kumara (sweet potato) crop. The town has re-employed many of its 19th century buildings – you’ll find cafes, art shops and other interesting retail opportunities. The Dargaville Museum has an interesting collection of Maori artefacts, shipwreck treasures and gum digging exhibits. At nearby Matakohe, a theme museum honours the historic kauri industry.
Functional facts: Approx. population: 5500, i-SITE Visitor Centre, good range of shops and services.
