Our Pākehā forebears had little imagination when it came to naming places in Napier. Hospital Hill—well, there used to be a hospital on the hill. Bluff Hill—the hill ended in a bluff. It's now fitting and proper that this part of Napier where I live will now be called Mataruahou; Perfume Point—it's where the sewage outfall used to end up—now renamed Te Karaka; and others—important.
