Mt Grey – Maukatere – 934m

• Mt Grey / Maukatere is a 934 metre (3,064 ft) mountain 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) west of Amberley in North Canterbury. 
• Mt Grey is named after Sir George Grey, the governor and Premier between 1845 and 1879.
• The Māori name for the mountain was Maukatere, which means “floating mountain”, as they believed spirits of the dead left from the summit on the long journey to Cape Reinga.
• In 1998, as a result of the settling of the Ngāi Tahu Treaty claim, the mountain officially became Mt Grey / Maukatere.
