KIHIKIHI
Kihikihi is a outer and southern suburb of Te Awamutu, but sees itself
as a fully independent community from the big brother. Kihikihi is
the Maori name for the insect called the cicada and a large statue of
a Cicada is at the northern end of the town.
Kihikihi is also on the
busy tourist route to the Waitomo Caves.
Kihikihi's
multi-purpose sports domain
boasted the
unique honour of hosting New Zealand's sole qualifying event for the
2009 HSBC FEI World Cup.
Kihikihi has
an historic well maintained Anglican Church, War Memorials and two
very imposing Hotels.
