Te Anga
Te Anga is a rural community in the Waitomo District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.
Marokopa River runs through the area. The river is not safe to swim in due to high rates of E. coli, but farmers have put in plans to reduce water pollution.
The area transitioned from sheep farming to more intensive dairy farming at the turn of the century.
The local landscape consists of limestones, calcareous mudstones and sandstones, with small areas of basal conglomerates and coal measures.
Marokopa Falls and Mangapohue Natural Bridge are close to Te Anga.
