★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is about1000years old according to the local.
It is about an 1hr and half walk to the Rock Art and an hour back .
The track go through private farms
Well marks and very good track.
The scenery is very beautiful well worth the visit itself.
Highly recommended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you’re going to walk into someone else’s territory, you want to signal that you’re a friend, not a foe. Animals do it (mark their territory) and so do humans even today as a tribe over country border disputes .
The Maori are no different and were a warrior race and cannibalism was legendary and widespread throughout New Zealand until the mid 1800s. Inter tribal warfare between Iwi (tribes) was common.
According to Darwin’s Origin of Species, it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself.
Depicted in Maori art, "One cross meant they had died or been killed; two crosses meant they had been cooked and eaten, a Māori custom common to land disputes."
Maori’s use of ochre is a sacred colour. Colour anything red and it was tapu. In Māori culture, to apply kokowai to a structure, particularly in visual culture is to render the object, artefact, structure or body ‘tapu’ therefore requiring significant attention to restriction, boundaries and respect.
Kokowai (red ochre) was used to make red paint and dye to colour. Kokowai was highly valued by Māori and was often traded with other tribes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Start by cafe across from hotel at hwy 7. Walk along behind the village for maybe 500m. Go left at sign and follow very hard to see dull yellow markers along fence line...up, down and up down...there are impressive limestone out crops as well as the art. We enjoyed the break in our trip and admired the very cool designs on the securely protected overhang.
DOC information indicates the very black and ochre coloured figures were over painted with house paintin 1929. Great views as well.
