The Waihorotiu Stream is an underground waterway that runs down Queen Street from Karangahape Road, through Myers Park, under Aotea Square, and out into the Waitemata Harbour. In Maori Mythology, a Taniwha named Horotiu protects this area and looks after the people of the land, particularly those drinking from the puna. Nowadays people often understand the Taniwha to be a monster, however, they are said to sometimes represent the mauri of an area. This roughly translates to the life force or essence of a place.
