Flat Shea Meets YOUNG NICK

Flat Shea visited the Monument at YOUNG NICKS HEAD in Waikanae.  


 Young Nicks Head Cliffs - Waikanae Beach - (why  ka nye)

 Young Nick , Breeana and Flat Shea spot land





Young Nicks Head (the cliffs) was named after Ship’s boy Nicholas Young who was the youngest person aboard Captain Cooks ship.  Young Nicks Head was named in his honour for being the first aboard the Endeavour (Captain Cooks ship) to spot land. It was 127 years since Abel Tasman’s Dutch East India Company expedition made the first recorded European sighting of New Zealand.
