Template:FixBunching Kawakawa is a small town in the Northland Region of northern New Zealand. It had a population of 1350 at the 2006 census, down from 1401 in 2001. Kawakawa developed as a service town when coal was found in the area in 1861, but there is no longer coal mining here. The economy is based around farming.
The town is known as "Train town", because the Bay of Islands Vintage Railway runs down the middle of its main street on the way to Opua (service is currently suspended).
The town is also famous for its public toilets, designed by Austrian architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who was a resident of the town from 1975 until his death in 2000. Another attraction is the nearby Kawiti glowworm Caves at Waiomio.
Education
Kawakawa Primary School and Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Taumarere are full primary (years 1-8) schools with rolls of 310 and 49 respectively. The latter is a Te Kura Kaupapa Māori school which teaches fully in the Māori language.
