Maori carvings explained

A couple of people have asked for a little more explanation regarding the history of the rock carvings on Lake Taupo. Here is a brief history, which I cut and pasted from the official guide book, not my own words.

Maori Rock Carvings that have been etched into the cliffs of Mine Bay.  They depict Ngatoro-i-rangi, the visionary Maori navigator who guided the Tuwharetoa and Te Arawa tribes to the Taupo area a thousand years ago
