We read a Maori myth on how quail island was crated and here is what we found out...
The sons, led by Aoraki, sailed around Gaia in Te Waka o Aoraki but decided they were unimpressed, so prepared to go back to the sky.
Before they could leave, their waka hit a reef and tipped sideways.
The brothers sat on the side of the waka and eventually turned to stone becoming the southern alps- Aoraki Mt Cook, Rakirua Mt Teichelmann, Rakirua Mt Dampier and Rarakiroa Mt Tasmin.
When the waka failed to return, Aorakis grandson tracked a journey to find them.
He found the wreck and mourned their deaths.
