Taranaki
Taranaki is a region of 129,000 in the North Island of New Zealand that is dominated by its volcanic mountain, Taranaki, also known as Mount Egmont. The volcano has formed a gently sloping semi-circular coastal plain on its western side and a wide plain of rich farm land in the east to connect it to the rest of the North Island.
