About Manawatū-Whanganui
Manawatū-Whanganui is the middle of the North Island and the part most people drive through without naming. It carries the main distribution corridor of the country, a university and two research institutes at Palmerston North, the air force at Ohakea and the army at Linton, and the Whanganui River running out to the coast.
