Interesting fact about New Zealand # 9 The longest place name in the world still in use is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukaka- pikimaungahoronukupokaiwenuakitanatahu, a hill in Porangahau in the Hawkes Bay. The Maori name translates to "the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as Landeater, played his flute to his loved one." All hail to the person that can remember the name of this hill and spell it correctly.
