Tapuhi First World War memorial

Tapuhi war memorial.

This marble obelisk can be found by driving east of SH1 at Hukerenui down Tapuhi Road, then turning into Monument Road. It features cannonballs mounted on each of the 8 concrete pillars - these cannonballs were used at the nearby seige and eventual battle of Ruapekapeka.

Ross Beddows, 2004
