Te Porere Redoubt

Te Porere Redoubt is a historic site located in Tongariro National Park, New Zealand.

The redoubt is situated on State Highway 47 and is about 150 years old. It is a significant site in New Zealand's history as it was the location of the last major battle of the New Zealand Wars. The redoubt was built in a British-style and is a reflection of the final phase of the New Zealand Wars.

The site is named after Te Porere, a Maori warrior who fought against the British in the New Zealand Wars. The redoubt was built by Te Kooti or one of his allies, although it is not clear who exactly built it. The redoubt was built on the bleak pumice lands at Tongariro National Park, and it is believed that the site was chosen for its strategic location.

Visitors to Te Porere Redoubt can explore the site and learn about its history. Although there is not much to see at the site, it is a good piece of New Zealand history and is worth a visit for those interested in the country's past. The redoubt is a significant part of Tongariro National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The mountains at the heart of the park have cultural and religious significance for the Maori people and symbolize the spiritual links between this community and its environment.
