Tuesday 10 April 2012: Mt Maukatere.

Mt Maukatere or Mount Grey is named after Sir George Grey, the governor and Premier of New Zealand between 1845 and 1879. The Maori name for the mountain was Maukatere, which means "floating mountain", as they believed spirits of the dead left from the summit on the long journey to Cape Reinga at the very tip of the North Island.

Early Blip today off down to Waimate to visit Auntie Jean ( Blip 31st Jan )in her new retirement home.
