The sites are all prominent headlands – Katiki (Moeraki peninsula), Matakaea (Shag Point) and Huriawa (Karitane Peninsula) – strategic strongholds occupied by Maori for hundreds of years. Archaeological evidence of occupation dates back to the 12th Century.

  • WILD at HEART Albatrosses and Sea Lions, Little Blue Penguins and Takahē Live Next Door to Humans in Dunedin, a City Perched on a Knot of Land on the Otago Coastline
    ADVERTISING FEATURE | DUNEDIN NZ WILD AT HEART Albatrosses and sea lions, little blue penguins and takahē live next door to humans in Dunedin, a city perched on a knot of land on the Otago coastline. THERE IS ONLY one place in the world where albatrosses nest on the mainland, and it’s no coincidence that it’s a fort. The terraces that were once part of a pā site at Taiaroa Head provide ideal platforms for albatross nests, and the windy, exposed promontory that affords a six-inch gun a view of the sea to ward off a Russian invasion makes a perfect airstrip for incoming adult birds. This season, there are 28 chicks in the colony, with 56 adults coming in to feed them at any one time. The chicks are sitting on their nests, dotted white across the headland. I walk up to the viewing area and peer through binoculars at their beautiful bulk and serious-looking expressions.

My name is Maria Bartlett. 2. I joined Toitū te Whenua, the environmental unit of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (“Te Rūnanga”) on 21 February 2011. 3. I was seconded to Toitū te Whenua from the Consents section of Environment Canterbury for a year as part of the Tuia programme between Ngāi Tahu and the regional council. 4.
