Road Put Through to Maungapohatu Maungapohatu, historic heart of the Urewera, can now be reached by a timber company's access road. Last March about 1,500 people drove through to Maungapohatu to celebrate the official opening of the road. Heavy rain failed to dampen the ardour of the Tuhoe, who flocked to the village from all over the North Island. A crowd of more than 100 people huddled high up on the Huiarau Range saw Sir Eruera Tirikatene officially open the newly-constructed road down to Maungapohatu village. Sir Eruera was Minister of Forests when permission was granted for the formation of the first part of the road through the Urewera National Park.
