Cape Reinga/Te Rerenga Wairua heritage:

after death, all Māori spirits travel … to the pohutukawa tree on the headland of Te Rerenga Wairua.  

They descend into the underworld (reinga) by sliding down a root into the sea … then return to the land of their ancestors, Hawaiiki-A-Nui.

At Cape Reinga the lighthouse.
