Pirongia
is
a
small
town
in
the
Waikato
region
of
New
Zealand's
North
Island.
It
is
12
km
to
the
west
of
Te
Awamutu,
on
the
banks
of
the
Waipa
River,
close
to
the
foot
of
the
962m
Mount
Pirongia,
an
extinct
volcano
and
part
of
the
Hakarimata
Range,
which
lies
in
a
forest
park
to
the
west
of
the
town,
near
to
where
Robert
&
Margaret Senior’s grandchildren lived.
Pirongia
was
originally
named
Alexandra,
after
the
Princess
of
Wales
(wife
of
future
King
Edward
VII)
but
to
avoid
confusion
with
the
town
of
that
name
in
the
South
Island
the
name
was
changed
to
Pirongia.
Some
businesses
and
organisations
echo
the
earlier
name
such
as
the
Alexandra
Hotel
and
the
Alexandra
Racing
Club
which
was
established in 1866 and reputed to be the second oldest racing club in New Zealand.
Pirongia
is
also
home
to
the
famous
Pirongia
Clydesdale
horses
regularly
seen
at
public
events
throughout
the
countryside.
