There's quite a variety of events coming up in the King Country town
Mobsters, policemen, farmers and naked festival-goers are all heading to Taumarunui this weekend and nonplussed locals are seeing dollar signs rather than trouble.
New Zealand’s first-of-its-kind sex-positive festival, Naked in the Trees, will coincide with a King Country Mongrel Mob reunion event in Taumuranui, running from February 13 to 17. Eight hundred tickets had been sold to the Naked in the Trees event.
From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
