the Mountain Ben Ohau

watching over Lake Ohau has an amazing story to tell

in Maori Mythology: the Waitaki River = waters of tears...was formed by two brothers, who mourned their sister, who had drowned at the river mouth.

she had been turned into a rock and the two brothers became the hills right in front of Ben Ohau at the mouth of the Waitaki River
