No Cape Reinga: Kahi a me Geography
ʻO Cape Reinga ka mākau loa loa o ka Mokupuni o Makike ,ʻoiaiʻo kaʻoiaʻiʻoʻo ka Mokupuni Komohana (30 mau mile aiʻole 18 mau mile a hiki i ka hikina) kahi'ākau loa ma ka'ākau.
He mea nui loa ia i ka poʻe Hawaiʻi, a ma muli o kona wahi mamao, he wahi hoʻokipa kūkaʻikaʻi kaulana ia.
Kahi a me pehea e hele ai i Cape Reinga
ʻO Cape Reinga kahiʻoi aku ma mua o 100 mau kapuaʻi (62 mau mile) ma ka'ākau o Kaitaia aʻelua mau ala e hiki ai i laila. ʻO ke ala nui ke ala loa. ʻOi aku keʻano o ke ala e hele ai - aia ma ke kahakai o Nine Mile Beach, kahi hiki ke hiki i nā kaʻa ma waena o Waipapakauri a me ka kahawaiʻo Te Paki. Ua kohoʻia kēia i ke alaloa kiʻekiʻe ma ke ala e pono ai ka mālama nui aʻaʻole eʻaeʻia no nā kaʻa uʻi.
He nui ka poʻe malihini kipa e hele i Cape Reinga mai Bay of Islands aiʻoleʻo Kaitaia e noho ai a me nā wahi'ē aʻe'ē aʻe ma Cape ia a hiki loa i ka'ākau o Kaitaia. Loaʻa kekahi mau koina o nā lā mai Bay of Islands a me Kaitaia e hele pū ana nō hoʻi i ka Moana Māiwa Mile.
I ka makahiki 2010, ua hōʻoiaʻia ka 19 mau mile o ke alanui i Cape Reinga, aʻo ka huakaʻi holoʻokoʻa iʻoi aku kaʻoluʻolu.
Ka mea eʻike ai a hana
ʻO ka hoʻokokokeʻana i Cape Reinga he hale hoʻokipa nui ia, me nā one nui a me nā kahakai eʻikeʻia ana ma nāʻaoʻaoʻelua o ke alanui. ʻO nā wahi a puni o ka Capeʻoiai aia kekahiʻano puaʻa a me nāʻano nani,ʻaʻole loa i loaʻa kekahi o nā mea'ē aʻe ma New Zealand. Nui nā helehelena a me nā ala hele a me kahi hoʻomoana e kaulana i ka wahi, akā ma Spirits Bay a me ka mokuʻo Tapotupotu.
Inā makemakeʻoe i kahiʻauʻau,ʻo ka tapōʻo Papotupotu he wahi pōkole wale nō ia mai ke alanui nui. ʻO kēia kahakai liʻiliʻi kekahi o nā momona aloha loa ma ka'ākau'ākau.
Ma Cape Reinga pono'ī he hale kukui, i kūkuluʻia i ka makahiki 1941 a ua hoʻopau ponoʻia i ka makahiki 1987,ʻo ia ka mea koʻikoʻi loa a me kahi kūlana'āina kaulanaʻo New Zealand. Mai ka hale kukui, aia kekahi manaʻo kupanaha o ka hālāwai o nā moanaʻelua,ʻo Sea Tasman a me ka Moana Pākīpika. ʻO ka heʻenalu nalu i kahi eʻikeʻia ai nā kaha o nā huiʻelua. Ma kahi lā maikaʻi, hiki keʻikeʻia ka hui Poor Knights kahi 55 mau mile (34 mile) i ke kūkulu'ākau.
Ma kahi kokoke i ka hale kukui ua hana nuiʻia ka hoʻomaikaʻi houʻana a aia i kēia manawa nā ala hele hele maikaʻi mai ka hale kaʻa a hiki i ka wahi māmā. Aia ma kahi o ka papahele kekahi mau pālahalaha e hōʻike ana i kahi o nāʻano maoli a me nāʻano moʻomeheu o ka wahi.
Ka Moʻolelokala a me ka Haʻawina Hawaiʻi
ʻO kekahi inoa'ē aʻe o ka inoa Hawaiʻi no Cape Reingaʻo Te Rerenga Wairua,ʻo ia hoʻi ka "leleʻana o nāʻuhane" aʻo Reinga ka unuhiʻia ma keʻano he "Lalo". Wahi a nā poʻe Moʻolelo,ʻo kēia kahi kahi e haʻalele ai nāʻuhane o ka poʻe make i Aotearoa a hoʻi aku i ko lākou homeland Hawaiki.
Holo kaʻuhane ma ka leleʻana i ke kai mai kahi lāʻau pohutukawa iʻike ponoʻia e pili ana i ke poʻo i lalo o ka hale kukui a hiki i ka pihaʻana i nā makahiki 800.
ʻO ke aniau a me ka manawa e hele ai
Ma kēia latitude, he anuanu kaʻilikai i nā manawa a pau o ka makahiki. ʻO ka mea wale nō e makaʻala ai no ka ua; ʻO nā mahina maloʻoʻoʻOkakopa a Malaki, akāʻoʻApelila a Sepatemaba eʻike i kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka ua.
I kou heleʻana aku i Cape Reinga, e loaʻaʻoe i keʻano hoʻolālā weliweli a kokoke i ka'āina a me ka lewa. He polokalamu mamao loa kēia aʻano nui loa o New Zealand.
