Gisborne |
 |
The Maori name for the district is Tairawhiti which means "The coast upon which the sun shines across the water". Kaiti Beach, near the city, was where the Maori immigrational waka, Horouta, landed, and is also the first European landing place in New Zealand. |
 |
Captain Cook first set foot here in 1769. European settlement was established in 1831 and the town which developed was named after Hon. William Gisborne, the Colonial Secretary, in 1870. |
 |
The best way to discover the delights of the Eastland region is along the Pacific Coast Highway. The 440km stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway which covers the Eastland from Opotiki in the north and Wairoa in the south. You will find stunning coastal scenery, superb seafood and farm-grown fare, wonderful wines and friendly people who enjoy introducing people to their slice of paradise. |

Eastlands - Ngati Porou |
 |
In accordance with the traditions and tikanga of Ngati Porou, we as "People of this Land" have been here since the beginning of time, or more aptly in the context of Aotearoa, since Maui fished up Te Ika a Maui (North Island). |

 |
Maui-tikitiki-a-taranga is attributed with fishing up the North Island, raising it our of the depths of the sea, for successive generations of Maori to populate and cultivate. We of Ngati Porou claim that when Maui fished up the North Island, his waka "Nukutaimemeha" was cradled on the top of our ancestral mountain - Hikurangi. |
