context_page_description: Cape Palliser is a promontory on the southern coast of New Zealand's North Island and is the southernmost point of the North Island; it is in fact considerably farther south than Nelson or Blenheim in the South Island.
  It is located at the eastern end of Palliser Bay, 50 kilometres southeast of Wellington - 100 kilometres by road.
  A small settlement - Ngawi - is situated near Cape Palliser, where the main income comes
  from crayfish fishing. Fishing boats are pushed into the sea on their trailers by bulldozers.
  Kupe's Sail is another feature of Cape Palliser - a triangular upthrust of sedimentary rock shaped
  like a sail. Maori history and the Kupe legend both feature Cape Palliser. Cape Palliser was named in 1770 by Captain James Cook in honour of his friend Admiral Sir Hugh Palliser of the British Royal Navy.
  The Cape Palliser Lighthouse is located here; it was first lit in 1897 but became automated in 1986. It flashes twice every 20 seconds.
