Originating in New Zealand the name Pukehou is a Maori name and translates to ‘Hill of Dedication’ which is named after a hill in the town of Manakau. Legend has that one of the Maori chiefs lept off its steep escarpment to his death and the hill has since become a local landmark and historical site. |
