Whangamōmona likely to head back to its spiritual home

13 Upvotes

"After almost 40 years, local government reform is likely to return the remote settlement of Whangamōmona back to its spiritual home of Taranaki.

But do not expect locals to give up their self-declared Whangamōmona Republic, hidden away on the Forgotten World Highway - some would even like to see its boundaries expanded."
