| Central Whangarei | ||
| (in Maori, the "Wh" is often pronounced as an F. [But it depends on the iwi. Some treat it a a W.] The first a is broad. Also, I heard the locals pronounce the word with the r rolled, almost an occlusive, close to d. The name of the nearby town now called Kerikeri was first orthographed as Kedi Kedi. "Fong-a-ray / Fawng-a-day") | ||
| Whangarei has a nice little harbour, the "Town Basin" right in the city centre | ||
