Te Karaka

Built around a crossing of the Waipaoa River, Te Karaka developed into a small rural service centre in the inland valley of the Gisborne District. The settlement lies northwest of Gisborne city, where the broad Waipaoa catchment runs from hill country towards Poverty Bay on New Zealand’s North Island. Farming defines the local setting, with productive river flats and surrounding grazing land shaping a working landscape rather than an urban one. Te Karaka is part of Tairāwhiti, the Māori name widely used for the Gisborne region. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Gisborne and the Waipaoa Valley.
