High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Wainuiomata River runs southwest through the Wainuiomata Valley located in the southern Rimutaka Ranges in the North Island, New Zealand.The word 'Wainui-o-mata' is a M ori name made up of the words Wai = water, Nui = big, O = of, and Mata which could refer to a woman's name. The origins of the word are disputed, but one commonly accepted translation refers to the women who came over the Wainuiomata Hill to evade marauding tribes from the north, and who sat wailing by the stream after the slaughter of their menfolk. From this we have faces streaming with water' or tears' although it could equally refer to the large pools of water which lay over the swampy surface (face) of the northern end of the Valley, or the river itself which is known to flood the Wainui (Coast Road) valley.Today it is commonly called the "Wainui River" as the town of Wainuiomata is informally named "Wainui".
