Kupe's Sail


Maori legend says that the great navigator Kupe won an argument with his rival Ngake about who could make a sail in the fastest time. Kupe won and the triangular shaped rock tilted at 45degrees represents the sail. The rock is about 15 million years old and was originally the flat bed of the ocean floor before massive earth movement tilted it upwards!
