Not many people are aware of how place names come about or are useful. Whether it's called a track, walkway or something else in NZ, these indicate the recent history and development of a track or trail. The Māori place names usually indicate a location helping with navigation. Some of these are: motu = island, ara = path, mata = point, whanga = bay or wide harbour, tārua = pass or saddle, paeroa = range. All help understand the lay of the land.
