Description
Feature shown on: NZMS260 R10; NZTopo50-AZ32 691478; 'Auckland, near Whangaparaoa Peninsula. Originally Tiritirio- Matangi, translated by Taimoana Turoa as The sanctified heaven of fragrant breezes, a name transferred from Polynesia. In Te Takoto o te Whenua o Hauraki, he writes: Tiritiri-o-Matangi represented the tenth stratum of the ‘be spaced heavens’ in the celestial order of divinity. It was from this place the the Polynesian demigod Tane — or some say Tawhaki — obtained the three baskets of knowledge known as Te Kete Tuauri, Te Kete Tuaatea, and Te Kete Aronui.'
