Taringamotu

Te waatea o te whanga o "Taringamutu (sic) Express"

Ko Taringamotu he nohanga o te rohe whenua o Waikato. E ai ki Toitū Te Whenua, he nohanga (he 'locality' rānei ki te reo Pākehā) he wāhi nohoia e te tangata, engari kāore anō kia tae te nui o te taupori ki te nui e taea ai te kī he tāone tonu taua wāhi rā. Ko te rohe whenua o Waikato he rohe whenua nui; ko ngā takiwā o roto ko Waikato, ko Hauraki. He takiwā ēnei o Aotearoa; kei Te Ika-a-Māui aua takiwā.

Taringamutu Tramway

Ko te Taringamutu Express i Oruaiwi, i te tau 1922

I puta mai tetahi tupapaku mate i te 22 o Hānuere 1915 i runga i te rarangi Taringamotu Timber Company, e mohiotia ana ko Taringamotu Express. Ko te tereina i hangaia he taraka tuwhera me tetahi motokā motopaika kapi i te ata mai i Taringamotu ki Waituhi. E ai ki tetahi tuhinga nupepa hou, he maha nga Māori i haere ki roto i te taraka tuwhera, kei te haere te Pākehā i te motokina taupoki. Ko te ahua o te tereina e rere ana i te raina, ka hurihia nga taraka, ka mate i te tamaiti Māori, ka kino te mamae o tetahi atu, ka pakaru nga waewae o nga wahine Māori me te ringa o tetahi atu. Ko te ahuareka o te waka i tiaki i nga pakehā i mawhiti i te whara.
