Pa site view- Bay of Islands

            The Maori word pā often refers to hillforts – fortified settlements with palisades and defensive terraces.  Māori built pā in various defensible locations around the territory of a tribe to protect fertile plantation sites and food supplies. An important feature of pā that set them apart from British forts was their incorporation of food storage pits.  This elevated pa site on Urupukapuka Island had cliffs on three sides forming a natural defence and an excellent vantage position to spot approaching enemies. The view is of Waewaetorea Passage between Urupukapuka and Waewaetorea Island. It is a panorama from two horizontal frames.
