About this video:
That’s right, today we are leaving New Zealand and spending a day in the Republic of Whangamomona right in the middle of the Forgotten World Highway! We check out the famous Whangamomona Hotel and discover the history and charm of the tiny republic.
The small town of Whangamomona on the Forgotten World Highway declared itself its own republic in 1988 when local councils were planning to split the settlement into two different regions. The locals rose up and declared Whangamomona its own republic complete with a president.
Over the years, the presidents have consisted of a goat, a poodle, a turtle, a man and a woman – so you could say Whangamomona is the most liberal republic in the world.
After spending a hilarious day in the fascinating Republic of Whangamomona, we complete our Forgotten World Highway journey by reaching New Plymouth, Taranaki. Join us tomorrow for the start of our Taranaki adventure.
