Battles were fought and after the people of the pā were overwhelmed by attacking forces in the battle of Ōparakau in 1827, a large section of the mountain was declared tapu (sacred). A special carved kohatu (rock) at the lookout summit represents the mauri (life essence) of the mountain. Walking tracks lead you through native flora and fauna where native medicinal plants are still collected and from the summit you can see The Library Pou other important landmarks and maunga (mountains).

  • Visit the Beautiful Bay of Islands, a Year-Round Destination and Birthplace of New Zealand
    Visit the beautiful Bay of Islands, a year-round destination and birthplace of New Zealand. Journey to New Zealand’s northernmost point, discover the country’s cultural heritage at Waitangi and experience the natural beauty of the region on a scenic cruise. Day 1: Auckland to Paihia (148 miles) Cross the Waitemata Harbour traveling north to Whangarei and Paihia. The Bay of Islands is one of the most historical parts of New Zealand. At Waitangi on February 6th, 1840, the Maori Chiefs ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria. The Treaty House is now an historic museum. The coastal waters are renowned for thrilling deep-sea fishing for marlin, swordfish and other game fish. Light-tackle fishing for yellowtail provides year-round sport. Day 2: Paihia Paihia is great for relaxing or chilling on the beach. Perhaps visit the historic Waitangi Treaty Grounds where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. Take a tour and view the magnificent war canoe, Maori meeting house and the Treaty House (allow 1-2 hours). Admission is NZ$25/adult or you can take a guided tour NZ$35. Cultural performances and hangi are available (Nov – Apr) and are additional. This afternoon visit historic and romantic Russell. Take a Russell mini tour or wander around the town by yourself. Russell Museum tells you the history of the town. Don't miss Christ Church - NZ's oldest church and Pompallier - NZ's Heritage Printery. If it is a nice day, take a walking track up to the Flagstaff Hill look out - magnificent views! (allow 1-3 Hours). Day 3: Cape Reinga and 90 Mile Beach (266 miles round-trip) Unfortunately you cannot take your rental vehicle on 90 Mile Beach, but you can drive up Hwy 1 to Cape Reinga, the most accessible northernmost tip of New Zealand, where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean meet.

  • Indigenous Vegetation and Habitat
    Part C – Policies – Indigenous Vegetation and Habitat 17 Indigenous Vegetation and Habitat 17.1 Significant Issues Loss of biodiversity and fragmentation of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna arising from land clearance, pest invasions, modification of indigenous wetlands, subdivision, use and development. Low representation of threatened and/or rare vegetation and habitat types in the protected areas network within the District. Finding a balance between the protection of ecosystems and ecological processes, and sustainable land development and use. Lack of public understanding of ecological processes and values leading to inappropriate land use. 17.2 Overview Since first human settlement in the District, large areas of native forests and shrub lands, freshwater indigenous wetlands, mangrove forest, mudflats and coastline have been lost or modified by direct or indirect human impacts. As a result of habitat changes, the District has a high number of endangered and threatened species. The effects on wildlife of loss of habitat vary, but for less mobile species with special habitat requirements, this can result in local extinction. More mobile species have special habitat requirements at certain stages of their life cycles, for example, the loss of breeding habitats could have serious long-term consequences for particular species. Habitats special to the District, and which are now poorly represented as natural ecological areas, include: • Taraire-puriri broadleaf forest remnants found on the basalt soils; • Mineralised flax, raupo and sedge swamps; • Acid peat bogs; • Podsol gumlands; • Lowland kahikatea/cabbage tree and swamp forest remnants; • Coastal forests and shrub lands; • Kauri and Podocarpus (rimu, matai, kahikatea, miro, kaiwaka, tanekaha forests); All of these habitat types have been severely reduced in area, or are highly modified and now often only occur as tiny modified relics of what once occurred in the District.
