Richard Von Sturmer continues his meditations on Waikato towns with a visit to Kihikihi On a gentle rise five kilometres south of Te Awamutu, you come to the small town of Kihikihi, the Māori name for cicada. I visited in late summer when cicadas were at their peak. Kihikihi was once called The garden of New Zealand and Ngāti Maniapoto, who worked the land, cultivated apple and peach orchards, and raised crops of kumara, potatoes and marrows. This all changed when the British troops entered on February 23, 1864, looting and destroying the Māori settlement. The fruit orchards vanished and Kihikihi became a military garrison.
