Pakeha Arrival Captain Cook anchored off the coast near Miramar on his first visit to Aotearoa, and mapped much of the coastline but didn't record the harbour entrance. On his second voyage to Aotearoa he noted the entrance to Whanganui-a-Tara, and attempted unsuccessfully to enter the harbour. His diary entry reads:November 2, 1773. We discovered on the east side of Cape Teerawhitte a new inlet I had never observed before.

These people were extravagantly fond of nails above every other thing.

With this we could but just lead out of the bay. Musket wars and the Fall of Rangitatau The citadel of Rangitatu was sacked and destroyed in late 1819-1820. The attack was led by Tuwhare the Toa.
