The New Zealand National Fieldays held in June and which featured a hard sell of daunting agricultural machinery occupied much attention, especially for those living in the Waikato. Many farmers, let alone suburbanites, may have felt subsequent doubts about their purchases made in the heat of the publicity. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

'Hobbiton', the outdoor screen set for Peter Jackson's Tolkein films, is in the Waikato, near Matamata, and is so much of a tourist attraction that many associate the Waikato region with fictional hobbits.
