Island
Description
The island in the Mayne Islands group between Kawau Island and the mainland; Name submitted by the owner of the island, Mr T R Clarkson in February 1970. Mr George Graham, a Māori authority in the area, gave the name as Takangaroa, a name connected with early Māori history and legend. Takangaroa, which refers to the casting of fishing nets, is associated with one Taramainuku, who in legend, cast his nets between the islands in this group. This renaming removed the name of one of several Goat Islands in the northern North Isalnd. Instead of "Goat Island"
