Maungatautari

Maungatautari mountain, seen here from the east, is one of a number of old eroded volcanoes that encircle the middle Waikato basin. It has been an important place of habitation for centuries, and four Tainui tribes – Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Wairere, Ngāti Hauā and Ngāti Korokī – own land on the slopes.
