Terror Tunnel and Forgotten World Highway Mailbox

Whangamomona, Taranaki

Located along New Zealand's remote and winding Forgotten World Highway, this quirky roadside stop features the Moki Tunnel—locally known as the Terror Tunnel—a narrow, hand-carved one-lane tunnel driven through the papa rock. Just outside sits a famously decorated rural mailbox representing the isolated spirit of the region. It is a quintessential photo stop for adventurous road trippers exploring the Republic of Whangamomona.
