    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”

      “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!”
