geography

The trunk road has a length of 223 km and is located in the northern part of the North Island. The road turns south-west of the Bay of Islands and south of Kerikeri in Ohaeawai from New Zealand State Highway 1 through to the west, resulting in a distance from the west coast of the south-east over Dargaville to the Kaipara Harbor and hits northwest of the water at Brynderwyn again the SH 1 .

Routing

From its starting point in Ohaewai, the road leads via Ngawha and Kaikohe to Taheke , from there in a south-westerly direction to Waima , then to shortly after Omanaia in a north-westerly direction. Now the SH 12 turns back to the southwest and runs along the southern foothills of the Hokianga Harbor via Oue , Whirinaki , Motutoa , Pakanae and Opononi to Omapere near the mouth of the Hokianga in the Tasman Sea . Now the road runs for 86 km about five to ten kilometers from the coast to the south. After she has passed Waiotemaramara and Waimamaku and crossed the Waimamaku River , she crosses the Waipoua Forrest with the huge Kauri tree Tane Mahuta . After the forest it reaches Katui and continues along the Kaihu River via Aranga , Kaihu , Ahikiwi , Maropiu and Mamaranui to its confluence with the Wairoa River . Here the SH 12 turns 90 ° to the northwest and reaches the city of Dargaville . State Highway 14 connects it there in a north-easterly direction with SH 1 . The SH 12 , on the other hand, follows the east bank of the Wairoa from Dargaville in a south-south-east direction via Tokatoka , Naumai and Raupo to Ruwai . From here the highway runs east via Paparoa , Huarau and Maungaturoto to Brynderwyn, where it meets the SH 1 again.
