Location
Turangi
Turangi is a small town on the west bank of the Tongariro, 50 kilometres south-west of Taupo on the North Island Volcanic Plateau of New Zealand. It was built during the 1960s to accommodate the workers associated with the Tongariro hydro-electric power development project and their families. The town was designed to remain as a small servicing centre for the exotic forest plantations south of Lake Taupo and for tourists. It is well known for its trout fishing and calls itself "The trout fishing capital of the world".
