MY PROFILE
I was born on the Island of Mangaia(Cook Island).MANGAIA, the most southerly of the Cook Islands, is also the second largest. It has the distinction of being the oldest island in the Pacific. Analysis of its geology shows it dates from 18 million years ago which is probably why it arouses keen interest among geologists. Roughly circular in shape, it rises 15,600 feet (4750 m) above the ocean floor. It has a central volcanic plateau and, like many of the southern islands in the Cooks, it is surrounded by a 200-foot (60 m) high ring of cliffs of fossilised coral, makatea.Arrived to New Zealand on the 2nd February 1981 and sadly I have never returned home since then.Brought up by my grandparents, whom I love dearly. I speak fluent Cook Island Maori and yes I am a real Poly Cookie.
