"Mangaweka is a township on the State Highway One (SH1), Manawat\u016B-Whanganui region, in the North Island of New Zealand, with a population of just under 200.

The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of \"weka stream\" for Mangaweka. The township is of interest not only for its historic main street, but also because of the growing artists' community. The main street is preserved in its original state due to SH1 being re-located in the early 1980s. This tore the heart out of the township as the main street became somewhat redundant. As a result, the settlement has become a tourist attraction. A significant feature in Mangaweka is an elevated DC-3 aircraft. It was originally set above a service station, but this is currently closed and is awaiting redevelopment. In 2021 the plane was moved to Shannon for restoration. It is uncertain whether it will return. The Department of Conservation have several scenic reserve walks around Mangaweka including one on the former North Island Main Trunk railway line and tunnels, replaced by a deviation in 1981. Notable people who have lived in Mangaweka include the New Zealand poet Sam Hunt, the artist Robin White (whose iconic \"Mangaweka\" painting hangs in Te Papa) and photographer/artist . The town also hosts an annual \"Fakes & Forgeries Art Exhibition and Festival\" in October and November. Karl Sim, was a regular attendee until his death in 2013. Other major features close to the town include some of the country's biggest railway viaducts on the Mangaweka deviation. Nearby, the Rangitikei River canyon provides the setting for the southern hemisphere's highest flying fox, an 80m bungy jump, as well as a The Lord of the Rings film location."@en . . "0.47"^^ .
