Flying the Ole Girl at Atiamuri, north of Taupo, trial fight in blustery winds, waiting to catch the boys waterskiing, all good, until a big gust, couldn't correct, and it fell outta the sky LOL
History Lesson - Atiamuri, a small village on the banks of the Waikato River, is set in vast pine plantations. The village name may have been derived from the words "turned back". According to legend, Tia, the older brother of the captain of the Arawa canoe, "turned back" here when he encountered the since-flooded Atiamuri Falls on the river. There are, however, some people who believe that the village's name may simply be expanded from the tribal name of Ngati-a-Muri.
