Here is some Maori art painted on a rock face. Maori are the native people of New Zealand which means they lived here for many centuries before any European explorers landed in the country. In fact, there was one drawing at this site of a European boat arriving on the nearby shores.
Rock art like this is now very rare as lots of other sites have unfortunately been destroyed by nature or people. Takiroa is one of only three remaining sites in the whole region (There used to be at least twenty).
