Orongo.

..site where the 'Birdman Competition' took place..overlooking needle shaped Motu Kao Kao, followed by Motu Iti andand finally Moto Nui...!
Each competing tribe would send their best athletic representative to scale the cliffs down to the ocean, swim out to Motu Nui and try to get the first Sooty Tern egg to be laid...and the tribal head represented would take the leadership of the island..!!
