Southwest of the island

The North and South of New Zealand are the biggest of the area, but there is a third island, and that is Stewart Island/Rakiura. It is an island of exquisite food resources, thanks to the nearby seas - think of crabs, salmons, eel, cod and rams. There is a way to get there, across the Strait of Foveaux off South Island.

Whatever you are arriving at, you are on an island - almost all of them are New Zealand Governments property (and a large part of them are reserved as Rakiura Newest Nationalpark. Originally the M?ori name of the island, Te Punga o Te Waka a Maui, refers to the legend of M?ori

Maui' s big boat - the anchors (Stewart Island/Rakiura) in the myth of Maui and his team, who captured the big boat (the North Island) from their boat (the South Island) and lifted it up. So, who was Stewart, you ask. Capt. James Cook and his team were the first Europeans to see the island in 1770.

Cook thought it was part of the South Island and called it the South Cape. Its name is a tribute to William Stewart, the first mate on the Pegasus vessel, who was on a robe cruise from Port Jackson (now Sydney) in 1809. It was Stewart who defined the north points of the island, which proves that it was an island, and made three other missions.

However, it has become the island' s principal source of livelihood. Travelers come on foot, find wild animals, find food and taste it. The food. Well, a seaside resort and a go-cart can help. It is best to cook it without hesitation, grind the filets of fillet of fish and grill them immediately - just out of the ocean.

There are plenty of birdlife, think T?t?/Muttonbird Islands, Albatros, kiwis, silver eyes, fan tails, yellow-eyed phoenins and T?t? - and large settlements of carbon black shearing waters. Following brood, the fowl move to the Northern Pacific, where apparently every fowl in one of the three discreet areas off Japan, Alaska or California holds.
