'Wairoa hōpūpū, hōnengenenge.' E kōrero ana te whakataukī nei mō te hūkeri o te awa o Wairoa, ōna ia kōmiro, me te rite o ngā tāngata o konei ki tō rātou awa (Te Ara 2015). / 'Wairoa, full of lumps, unevenness and spite.' This saying refers to the turbulence of the Wairoa River, its whirling currents and how the people here are like their river.
