| 释义 |
Titirangi is a hill in Gisborne city, New Zealand.[1] It is also known as Kaiti Hill, but this refers to the first ridge overlooking Poverty Bay and Gisborne.[2] The hill is an ancestral site of the Ngati Oneone hapū (sub-tribe) in Gisborne. It is at the base of this hill that Captain James Cook came ashore, after first sighting New Zealand in October 1769. The 33 ha Titirangi Reserve is a tourist attraction; the hill has a Cook monument, a pohutukawa tree planted by Diana, Princess of Wales, the James Cook Observatory, a fitness course, a park, and four lookouts over Gisborne city and Poverty Bay. Other features include a World War II gun emplacement, a summit track and nature trails.[2] At the base of the hill is the marae Te Poho-o-Rawiri, the home of Ngati Oneone, which was built by Master-carver, Pine Taiapa.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}} References1. ^{{LINZ|46131|Titirangi|2009-11-15}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.gdc.govt.nz/assets/Files/Reserves-Plans/Titirangi/Chapter1IntroducingTitirangiReserve.pdf|title=Introducing Titirangi Reserve|publisher=Gisborne District Council|accessdate=2009-11-15}} External links
