Linen Lady got it, Waitemata. Tamaki-Makau-Rau (which I think is an abbreviation of the real name) is the name for the isthmus, think it means Tamaki of the thousand lovers or some such. Doesnt it Vivienne?

There are plenty of places beginning with W. Who can give the Maori name of the Auckland Harbour? It means sparkling water.

I definitely need to get a more comprehensive book of NZ place names. The AA mag came today with a flyer advertising their book of road maps, maybe it was trying to tell me something.

Please Karen can you tell me where Urrall is? Cant find it on my maps. Or have you been drinking too much and your eyesight has gone all blurry??? Not many beginning with U, perhaps we can move on to V, only a few of those too.
