3:33 Feature Story
Once again we visit the Republic of Whangamomona, deep in the heart of Taranaki.
If you think this charming town of just forty people on the Forgotten World Highway is a bit out of the way, then think again.
Just a few kilometres away, down what has to be one of the worst roads in the country is the abandoned settlement of Aotuhia. Founded at the very start of the twentieth century, the last settler left the area just forty years later, driven out by the weather, a series of devastating economic crises and the awful loneliness of life in this nearly inaccessible eastern Taranaki valley.
Justin Gregory goes exploring for this lost civilisation. But he's not alone; his traveling companion is one of the most distinguished personages in all of Whangamomona.
