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. |

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

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? |
