The landscape on the 55kms ride from Waipawa to Onga Onga varies from river valleys to hills to horizon reaching flat plains. The Onga Onga Road road out from Waipawa is a steady climb and provides view of the Waipawa River below. The route passes through farm lands and orchards. An ideal region for agriculture on the vast, flat plains. At Onga Onga we stopped at the General Store for refreshments before visiting the Onga Onga Historical Museum.
