| Tongariro National Park (/xcbx88txc9x92xc5x8bxc9xa1xc9x99rxc9xaaroxcax8a/; Mxc4x81ori:xc2xa0[txc9x94xc5x8baxc9xbeixc9xbexc9x94]) is the oldest national park in New Zealand,[1] located in the central North Island. | WIKI |
| [1] The active volcanic mountains Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe, and Tongariro are located in the centre of the park. | WIKI |
| There are a number of Mxc4x81ori religious sites within the park,[3] and many of the park's summits, including Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu, are tapu, or sacred. | WIKI |
| [4] The park includes many towns around its boundary including Ohakune, Waiouru, Horopito, Pokaka, Erua, National Park Village, Whakapapa skifield and Turangi. | WIKI |
| The Whanganui River rises within the park and flows through Whanganui National Park to the west. | WIKI |
| Most of the park is located in the Ruapehu District (Manawatxc5xab-Whanganui region), although the northeast is in the Taupo District (Waikato Region, or Hawke's Bay Region to the north). | WIKI |
| The Pihanga Scenic Reserve, containing Lake Rotopounamu, Mount Pihanga and the Kakaramea-Tihia Massif, though separate from the main park area, is still part of the national park. | WIKI |
| On the park borders are the towns of Turangi, National Park Village and Ohakune. | WIKI |
| Within the park borders, the only settlements are the tourism-based village at Whakapapa Village which consists solely of ski accommodation. | WIKI |
| Two Maori kainga (settlements) Papakai and Otukou are not part of the park but lie on the shores of Lake Rotoaira between the Pihanga Scenic Reserve and the main park area. | WIKI |
| The bulk of Tongariro National Park is surrounded by well-maintained roads that roughly follow the park borders and provide easy access. | WIKI |
| State Highway 47 joins these two highways to the north of much of the park, although it bisects the Pihanga Scenic Reserve. | WIKI |
| When the New Zealand Parliament passed the Tongariro National Park Act in October 1894, the park covered an area of about 252.13xc2xa0km2, but it took until 1907 to acquire the land. | WIKI |
| When the Act was renewed in 1922, the park area was extended to 586.8xc2xa0km2. | WIKI |
| Further extensions, especially Pihanga Scenic Reserve in 1975, enlarged the park to its current size of 786.23xc2xa0km2. | WIKI |
| But it was not before opening of the railway in 1908 and the building of roads in the 1930s that a significant number of people visited the park. | WIKI |
| The second Tongariro National Park Act, in 1922, started some active conservation efforts, but it was not until 1931 that the first permanent park ranger began work. | WIKI |
| In the early 20th century, park administrators introduced heather to the park, for grouse hunting. | WIKI |
| [8] Grouse were never actually introduced, but the heather is sprawling, threatening the ecological system and endemic plants of the park. | WIKI |
| The park's volcanoes are the southern end of a 2500xc2xa0km long range of volcanoes, below which the Australian Plate meets the Pacific Plate. | WIKI |
| Three volcanoes (Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu) remain active, while the park's two northernmost volcanoes (Pihanga and the Kakaramea-Tihia Massif) last erupted over 20,000 years ago. | WIKI |
| To the north and west of the park, a podocarp-broadleaf rain forest near Lake Taupo stretches over an area of 30xc2xa0km2, and up to an elevation of 1000 m. In this rain forest live Hall's totara (Podocarpus laetus), kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides), kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa), pahautea (Libocedrus bidwillii), and numerous epiphytic ferns, orchids, and fungi. | WIKI |
| Other bird species common to the park are tui, New Zealand bellbird, morepork/ruru, grey warbler/riroriro, fantail, whitehead/pxc5x8dpokotea and silvereye. | WIKI |
| The park also features the only two native mammals of New Zealand, the short and long tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata and Chalinolobus tuberculatus). | WIKI |
| Also present in the park, as well as the whole of New Zealand, are animals introduced by Europeans, such as black rats, stoats, cats, rabbits, hare, possums and red deer. | WIKI |
| With this track net, three camp sites, two emergency shelters, nine public and four private huts and the facilities in Whakapapa, the park is well developed for tourism. | WIKI |
