Quail Island, New Zealand
Quail Island (Ōtamahua in Māori, sometimes also known as Te Kawakawa) is a small uninhabited island within Lyttelton Harbour in the South Island of New Zealand, close to Christchurch. The island was given its European name by Captain Mein Smith who saw native quail here in 1842; though they were already extinct by 1875. 'Ōtamahua' has the meaning of a 'place where children collect sea eggs'. 'Te Kawakawa' refers to the Pepper trees found on the island.

Port Hills
The Port Hills are a range of hills in Canterbury, New Zealand, so named because they lie between the city of Christchurch and its port at Lyttelton. The Port Hills run approximately east-west along the northern side of Lyttelton Harbour, including a number of summits between 300 and 500 metres above sea level. Some consider the crater rim around the western end of Lyttelton Harbour, which runs largely north-south, to also be part of the Port Hills.

It was constructed in 1850 as a bridle path for leading horses, and was used by the early European settlers as a route from the port to new settlements on the northern side of the Port Hills.
