Arrow Rock

Arrow Rock (New Zealand)

Arrow Rock is a small island in Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere, off the coast of Nelson, New Zealand. There is a narrow channel between the rock and Haulashore Island. Situated within Nelson Harbour, Arrow Rock was site of the Fifeshire wreck in 1842, which gave the rock its secondary name. There are a number of spotted shags who live on the rock.

Arrow Rocks

The Arrow Rocks are islands that surround Oruatemanu Island of the Tauranga Bay in New Zealand, about 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of the Bay of Islands. One of the islands looks like an arrow or a bird's beak.

Arrow

An arrow is a fin-stabilized projectile launched by a bow. A typical arrow usually consists of a long, stiff, straight shaft with a weighty arrowhead attached to the front end, multiple fin-like stabilizers called fletchings mounted near the rear, and a slot at the rear end called a nock for engaging the bowstring. A container or bag carrying additional arrows for convenient reloading is called a quiver.
