History
Tīnui was the first place in New Zealand to have an ANZAC Day commemoration ceremony.[2] On 25 April 1916, the local vicar led an expedition to place a large cross to commemorate the dead on Tīnui Taipo, a 360 m (1200 ft) high promontory behind the village.[3] The original wooden cross was replaced by a metal one in 1965 and is a Category I Heritage New Zealand historic place.[3][4] In 2006, the 90th anniversary was commemorated with a 21-gun salute fired by soldiers from Waiouru Army Camp. In 2009, the Air Force began promoting Tīnui as an alternative to travelling to Gallipoli. Veterans' Affairs Minister Judith Collins said of the promotion: "I would be delighted to see Tīnui become a place where people come to pay their respects and remember those who have fallen."[5]
The Church of the Good Shepherd opened in 1902. The church has been moved from its original site, restored and ownership transferred from the Anglican Church to the Tīnui and Castlepoint Community Trust.[6]
Tīnui has been flooded often, as it is situated on the river flats next to the confluence of the Whareama River and the Tīnui River. The first recorded flood was in 1858, when water covered the river flats. In 1936, floods caused thousands of sheep to drown and floodwaters reached a depth of 450 mm inside the Tīnui Hotel. The 1991 floods devastated the village when 200 mm of rain fell over a 24-hour period, and the river flooded again in July 1992.[7]
The Tīnui Hotel was relocated to Greytown in 2008 where it became a private residence.[8][9]
