The Republic of Whangamomona


The Republic of Whangamomona lies on the Lost World Highway. We cross the border control (A toilet) and venture in. The locals are glad to greet us and welcome us to their tiny independant republic. Click Here for the story and a list of presidents. Every year they celebrate their independance day where thousands of people flock to the town to partake in events like Sheep racing and Gumboot throwing. Must be some party.
