How to Visit Every Volcano in Auckland How to Visit Every Volcano in Auckland Elaine Smid & Thomas Stolberger Version 1.1 A Handy Checklist Many visitors and residents of Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) have “visit every volcano” on their goal list. However, there are so many (53 volcanic centres!), many are quarried or hidden away, and it takes a lot of digging (ha!) to figure out how to check some of them off of your list. This checklist makes meeting this goal easier! In this document, you’ll find a map and corresponding list of the volcanoes, roughly grouped by location, an address or GPS coordinate for you to put into your favourite mapping app, and relevant links to learn more about each volcano. You can either print this checklist out or download it to a smart device to take with you on your adventures throughout the Auckland Volcanic Field (referred to as the ‘AVF’ in this document). Device users can tap on some of the quick reference icons throughout the list to find links to additional information on accessing certain volcanoes, and what to do once you are there. This document also includes a Resources section (next page) containing links to various online resources relating to the AVF, as well as information on trips for pushchairs, wheelchairs, and people with limited mobility. You can use this checklist by itself or as a companion to Volcanoes of Auckland: A Field Guide, the most complete and up-to-date field guide on the AVF, by geologist Bruce Hayward. Each volcano on this list contains a page number to the relevant part of the field guide should you wish to read more on the volcanoes you are visiting. See the Resources section for more details about this book. Finally, please share your photos and journeys with us by using the hashtag #AVFAdventures! If you have any suggestions to improve this document, please email Elaine at: [email protected]. How To Use This Checklist: 1. Volcano name and ID number 2. Coordinates 3.

Believed to be the oldest volcano in the AVF. Lava erupted here, drained the underground chamber, and the ground over the empty chamber collapsed, forming a depression which filled with water, now called Lake Pupuke. Lava from this volcano flowed through an ancient forest, preserving molds of the trees as they burnt away. The remains of this can be seen near the boat ramp at Takapuna Beach (see GeoTrip link above). Volcanoes of Auckland: A Field Guide: p. 70 4.

    ATTACHMENT 5 Geological Assessment (Tonkin & Taylor) Job No: 1007709 10 January 2019 McConnell Property PO Box 614 Auckland 1140 Attention: Matt Anderson Dear Matt Orakei ONF Assessment 1- 3 Purewa Rd, Meadowbank Introduction McConnell Property is proposing to undertake the development of a multi-story apartment building at 1 - 3 Purewa Road, Meadowbank. The property is located within an area covered by the Outstanding Natural Feature (ONF) overlay of the Auckland Unitary Plan. The overlay relates to the Orakei Basin volcano located to the west of the property. The ONF overlay requires consent for the earthworks and the proposed built form associated with the development of the site. McConnell Property has commissioned Tonkin & Taylor Ltd (T+T) to provide a geological assessment of the property with respect to both the ONF overlay and the geological characteristics of the property. The purpose of the assessment is to place the property in context of the significant geological features identified by the ONF overlay, and to assess the geological effects of the proposed development. Proposed Development The proposal (as shown in the architectural drawings appended to the application) is to remove the existing houses and much of the vegetation from the site, and to develop the site with a new four- storey residential apartment building with a single-level basement for parking. The development will involve excavation of the site, which will require cuts of up to approximately 6m below existing ground level (bgl). The cut depths vary across the site, resulting in the average cut depth being less than 6m bgl. Site Description The site is located at the end of the eastern arm of the ridgeline that encloses the Orakei Basin (Figure 1).

Follow the estuary past a camping ground, a boat ramp & holiday baches until wooden steps lead up to the Findlay Street walkway. From Findlay Street, head left into Molesworth Drive until reaching Mangawhai Village. Then a right into Moir Street, left into Insley Street and across the estuary then left into Black Swamp Road. Follow this road until reaching Pacific Road which leads you through a forestry block to the beach and the next stage of Te Araroa.

This is reflected in the UNESCO IGCP Project (# 692. Geoheritage for Geohazard Resilience) that continues to successfully develop global awareness of the multifaced aspects of geoheritage research. Geohazards form a great variety of natural phenomena that should be properly identified, and their importance communicated to all levels of society. This is especially the case in urban areas such as Auckland. The largest socio-economic urban center in New Zealand, Auckland faces potential volcanic hazards as it sits on an active Quaternary monogenetic volcanic field. Individual volcanic geosites of young eruptive products are considered to form the foundation of community Citation: Németh, K.; Gravis, I.; outreach demonstrating causes and consequences of volcanism associated volcanism.

The isthmus not only offered rich volcanic soils, many waterways and inlets, but also a strategic location for trade. Auckland was centered on interconnecting trade routes between the Bay of Plenty, Coromandel, Waikato and Northland.*https://teara.govt.nz/en/tamaki-tribes/page-1 Around 1250 A.D., voyagers on canoes from East Polynesia became the earliest settlers of New Zealand. Among the many canoes, the Tainui canoe pulled ashore at Waitematā Harbour (Auckland Harbour) and its descendants put down roots in the Auckland Isthmus.*https://teara.govt.nz/en/tamaki-tribes/page-1 And by the 19th century, much of the Hauraki Gulf, including the eastern coast of Auckland, was inhabited by the descendant tribes of Marutūahu of the Taninui canoe.
