 Mangakino
Mangakino is a town in a 1950s time warp; a remnant of the pressure-cooker expansion of post-war New Zealand as well preserved as if it were ladled into an Agee jar in mother's kitchen.
Mangakino was on land leased from the Mangakino Township Incorporation.
Mangakino is also different because it was built to be a semi-permanent town and all its facilities were purpose-designed and the layout planned before building started.
