The Whanganui River is a major river in the North Island of New Zealand.
With the completion of the North Island Main Trunk railway, the need for the steamboat route to the north greatly diminished, and the main economic activity of the river area became forestry.

WhanganuiIsland is the largest of a small group of islands at the entrance to Coromandel harbour in the Hauraki Gulf, off the coast of New Zealand's North Island.

It was owned by an American settler until the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, when he lost legal title to the island as all titles passed to the British crown.
