Polytechnic and the University of Waikato sited here. With the Waikato
River running through the city and its flat landscape, you will often
see students and other residents of Hamilton riding on their bikes to
get places.

Being only a short driving distance from
Te
Awamutu make sure you visit the town that was the birthplace of
the Finn brothers - of the Crowd House and Split Enz fame. Again,
because of its location, you are only a few hours from
Auckland,
the
National Park,
Tauranga
and
Te Aroha.
You can travel by air to Hamilton, the city has
an international airport located 15kms south of the city centre.
