The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such...

  • 15. Tolaga Bay Historic Wharf Tolaga Bay
    Tolaga Bay is both a bay and small town on the East Coast of New Zealand's North Island located 45 kilometres northeast of Gisborne and 30 kilometres south of Tokomaru Bay. It was named Tolaga Bay by Lt. James Cook in 1769. Described as an obvious corruption of a Maori name, the exact derivation of the name is unclear. It may have been a misunderstanding of teraki or tarakaka, referring to the local south-westerly wind rather than the place. The original Māori name is Uawa Nui A Ruamatua , and some local residents now refer to the area as Hauiti, and themselves as Hauitians from the local iwi Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti. At the time of Cook's visit, according to Anne Salmond, here a famous school of learning that specialized in tribal lore and carving was sited... Tupaia, the Raiatean navigator a...
