Description

A sign painter is painting 'Egmont Takeaways' on a shop wall. A group of Maori men arrive and glare menacingly at the painter. Quickly he finishes the sign so it reads 'Eganaki Takeaways', which please the Maori. In 1985 the New Zealand Geographic Board approved the change in name from Mount Egmont to Mount Taranaki, and the following year ruled that Taranaki and Egmont would be the official names for the peak.
