Guide to the place names and the background history is given about hundreds of South Island towns and landmarks. Both English and MÄori place names are explained. The English first called the island Middle Island or New Munster. The MÄori called the island by various names. Perhaps the best known is "Te waka o MÄui" - "The canoe of MÄui" referring to the legend that the man-god MÄui fished up the North Island of this country from a spot near where the town of Kaikoura stands today.
