		Along the northern coast are a chain of lower ranges that trend parallel to the main range.
		The Macdonnell Ranges in the north and Musgrave Ranges in the south enclose the dry lake of Amadeus.
		Maori legends describe the ranges as a great fish brought to the surface by a magic fish-hook; great swellings arose where it was clubbed by the gods who caught it, and the active volcanoes are the death twitches of the giant.

	The fiendishly efficient rain-catching system
		For sheer size, the Tararua Range doesn’t compare with the mountains of the South Island.
		He says the range runs absolutely parallel to fronts approaching from the northwest so the rain-bearing clouds usually hit the entire length of the range and the rain is dumped all at once.
		The range’s great rain-attracting powers are also accountable for the droughts that hit the valley and eastern Wairarapa.

	Tararua District - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tararua District lies near the south-east corner of New Zealand's North Island.
		Created in 1989, it was named after the Tararua Range, which forms much of its western boundary.
		While the majority of Tararua District is part of the Manawatu-Wanganui Region, a small triangle of rural land north of the Owahanga River in the southeast of the district is part of Wellington Region.

		On the sides of the ranges precipitous streams flow from the open tops, down through the beech forest, combining to form rivers sometimes flowing along open grassy valleys and sometimes slowing to form deep pools in narrow gorges.

		The Tokomaru River rises on the western side of the Tararua Range and flows westerly to cross SH57, between Palmerston North and Shannon.
		Into the ranges access, off the end of Table Flat Road, is reasonable, and, for the moderately fit angler, the fishing is very enjoyable in scenic and peaceful surroundings although trout numbers are generally low.
		Flowing from the southern Tararua Range the Akatarawa is a tributary of the Hutt River, joining at Birchville.

	Tararuas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Tararua Range begins at the northern limit of the Rimutaka Range—where State Highway 2 cuts a meandering path between Wellington and Wairarapa—and stretches north to the Manawatu Gorge.
		Savage weather batters the range to such an extent that even those familiar with the higher and harder mountains of the Southern Alps have sometimes underestimated it.
		As Spearpoint notes, the problem with the Tararuas is their exposure to weather from all directions, particularly the fierce winds channelled through Cook Strait.

	Hiking over the Tararua Peaks
		These fine peaks form most of the southern half of the Main Range of the Tararua mountains, stretching 18 kilometres from Mt. Crawford in the north to Mt. Hector.
		The highlight of any trip along the southern range is the traverse of the Tararua Peaks (Tunui and Tuiti) which form a rugged barrier that was not pierced until 1930.
		The Tararua Peaks don't show up well in the image - follow the gully up to the ridge and then Tunui is just to the right (hiding the cleft between it and Tuiti).

		European settlers began to arrive and by 1872 there were the beginnings of the settlement in the Papaioea clearing, eventually to become the city of Palmerston North.

		From this base he turned to the ranges which form the backdrop to Hawke’s Bay and beyond: Ruahine, Kaweka, Kaimanawa, and even the southern fall of the Urewera highlands.
		Despite a troublesome leg he was still out in the ranges in his mid 60s as guide and mentor of forest survey parties, earning their respect for his hardihood and enthusiasm.

	Wairarapa
		The area south of Mt. Bruce is always known as Wairarapa.
		While the area to the north of Mt. Bruce is sometimes called Tararua or occasionally attributed to Manawatu[?], because it feeds the headwaters of the Manawatu River[?], which cuts throught the Tararua mountain range via the Manawatu Gorge[?] to flow to the west coast of the North Island.
