Kamo, New Zealand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kamo is a small township north of Whangarei, approximately five minutes from the Whangarei CBD. It is famous for having the northernmost traffic lights in New Zealand. Coal mining was an early industry in the area, with one of Northland's first railways being built to provide access from the mines to Whangarei for export. The railway still exists as part of the North Auckland Line. Situated in this tiny settlement is five schools (two high schools, one intermediate school and two primary schools). Kamo High School is the main high school, with over 1,200 students. Kamo has one main street, and about 20,000 residents. All Blacks Bunny Finlayson, Bevan Holmes and Ian Jones played for Kamo Rugby Club as did notable Auckland Blues player Justin Collins and Auckland Blues coach Peter Sloane.
