Mount Taranaki

Taranaki used to live next to Taupo. Both Taranaki and Tongariro loved Pihanga and fought over her.Taranaki was beaten badly his cone was broken off the tip of his head,  his sides were gashed and almost broken to pieces. taranaki moved back underground and traveled down the Whanganui River to the coast. Taranaki left the  Whanganui River and entered the sea and headed northwest and Taranaki was led by a giant stone named Te Toka a Rauhoto. They surfaced to see Pouakai on the horizon. Diving again Taranaki followed the guide stone up the hangaataahua (stony) River. Taranaki resurfaced beside Pouakai. Te Toka a Rauroto flew eastward between Pouakai kaitake and then landed near the sea.

And there you go, there it the maori legend of Mount Taranaki came to stand where it stands tall today.
