I’ve been there and gotten a photo of myself with that sign. It is indeed a long sign.
translation:
“the summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his kōauau (flute) to his loved one”
So German-style name creation. Neat!
“We oughta name this after Tamatea.”
“Who?”
“You know, the dude that serenades chicks with a kōauau.”
“…?”
“Tamatea! You know, Climber of Mountains! The Explorer!”
“Doesn’t ring a bell.”
“…the guy with the weird legs”
“Oh yeah ol’ Big Knees!”
Try saying that fast three times.
I can’t say it slowly once
Reminiscent of this weatherman. I bet you know the clip without clicking on the link.
That fucking sign brings me joy 😂
