	Mount Tapuaenuku Information
		Tapuae-o-Uenuku, formerly Mount Tapuaenuku, is the highest peak in the northeast of New Zealand's South Island.
		It can be seen from as far away as Cape Terawhiti on the southeastern tip of the North Island, nearly 120 kilometres away, and is a prominent point on the horizon for travellers on the interisland ferries that ply Cook Strait.
		The first European to sight the mountain was James Cook, who called it Mount Odin, but later nicknamed it "The Watcher" since his ship seemed to be visible from it at so many points along the coast.

		Amuri limestone also forms the resistant cliffs of the Kaikoura Peninsula and the small peninsula of Piripaua (Amuri Bluff), famous as the site of richly fossiliferous Upper Cretaceous strata, the source of some of New Zealand's large Cretaceous reptile fossils.
		Intense volcanic activity took place late in the Rangitata Orogeny during mid-Cretaceous times when many dyke swarms and a few sills were intruded through the greywacke, particularly in the Inland Kaikoura Range (for example, Tapuaenuku).
		Terrestrial and marine basalt flows and tuffs were extruded on the surface, and the largest mass of these rocks forms Mount Lookout (5,933 ft) in the Upper Awatere Valley, towering over an area some 10 miles square of olivine-basalt lavas and interbedded tuffs up to 3,000 ft thick.
