Waipuku

Waipuku is a settlement in inland Taranaki, in the western North Island of New Zealand. It is located between Stratford and Inglewood (between Midhirst and Tariki) on State Highway 3.

Within "Puke Ariki". in New Plymouth, there is an 1874 letter (signed by Octavius Carrington of the Public Works Office [and brother of "Wellington Carrington". ]), upon the progress of Mountain Road, from Hawera northward toward New Plymouth: up to the Waipuku River (actually Stream). There is also a report (from Charles Hursthouse) upon progress on this road in this and in the Huirangi districts. See "Public Works Office (ARC2004-789)".

There is a 1905 map of the stretch of the North Egmont Branch Railway (that operated from 1906-1941) spanning the stretch from York Road (just north of the Manganui River, north of Midhirst) to the Waipuku Stream (just south of Tariki). It may be found within "Puke Ariki". in New Plymouth, see "Mount Egmont Branch Railway (ARC2005-24)". Archived from the original on 14 October 2008. Retrieved 2008-02-05.
