Auckland is the biggest city in New
Zealand, home to about 1.3 million people,
nearly a third of the New Zealand
population.
In the Maori language, Auckland is known
as Tamaki-makau-rau "the maiden with a
thousand lovers". Maori fought over
Tamaki-makau-rau because they desired
her warm climate, her soft, fertile soil, and
her magnificent harbours filled with
seafood.
The beautiful Waitemata Harbour is
Auckland's front yard and playground. On
any sunny weekend, the Waitemata is filled
with yachts, their sails billowing in the wind.
That's why Auckland is also called The City
of Sails.
