In this ocean scene we are drawn deep into the Tasman Sea from Tasmania's South Eastern open beaches towards the horizon.  If pursued, this ocean traverse would see us encounter the Islands of New Zealand.

The Māori people of New Zealand call this sea Te Moana-a-Rehua meaning 'the sea of Rehua' which clashes with the Pacific waters named Te Tai-o-Whitirea ('the sea of Whitirea') – after Whitirea, Rehua's lover– at Cape Reinga, the northernmost tip of New Zealand's North Island.  In both Australian and New Zealand English, it is nicknamed the Ditch.
