Understand
Morere is 40 km northeast of Wairoa and 60 km southwest of Gisborne, by road. It is a convenient stopping point for drivers to have a rest break before or after driving the demanding 40 km section of road over the Morere and Wharerata hills, which have long steep grades, tight corners, few passing places and even fewer roadside service areas, with nothing more significant than a picnic table or a rubbish bin.
