In reply to M Stanley's suggestion to put a gondola on Mauao (Weekend Sun, January 24):
1. Naming it Mount Cameron or Mount Devonport is never going to happen and cruise ship people or most of the locals like Mount Maunganui. A lot of places around the globe and at ports have names which are more difficult to pronounce.
2. A monorail or gondola on Mauao isn't going to happen. A lot of locals and tourist love walking up 'just another hill”.
3. You obviously don't know the history of the hill.
4. Maori have been here a lot longer than Cameron or Devonport.
5. If you don't like the name Mauao or Mount Maunganui – move somewhere else.
