Waiuku
- A country town in the Auckland Region
- The Maori name Waiuku comes from a legend that two prominent brothers, Tamakae and Tamakou, vied for the hand of a beautiful high-ranking Waikato chieftainess.
- Waiuku came into existence as a port in about 1843, on the then important trade route between Auckland and the agricultural area of the Waikato.
- It was also the terminal of an ancient Maori portage between the Waikato River and the Manukau Harbour. #waiuku #school #1982
