2 unusual facts about Mākaro / Ward Island


Mākaro / Ward Island

Mākaro/Ward island is one of the three small islands in Wellington Harbour, at the Southern end of the North Island, New Zealand.

Maori tradition is that both of these islands received their original Māori names from Kupe, the semi-legendary first navigator to reach New Zealand and get home again with reports of the new land, but this cannot be verified.
