Pipiriki in the Whanganui River Valley
Pipiriki, Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand Pipiriki Settlement 79 km from Whanganui, the home of Ngāti Kura. The main settlement was originally across the river. From 1854 Māori grew wheat there for the Kaukore mill. Pai Mārire warriors besieged three redoubts across the river for several weeks in 1865. Pipiriki was an important centre during the riverboat era from the mid-1890s to the 1920s, and remains a gateway to the wilderness reaches of the river. Source: Diana Beaglehole.
