PUKERARO: ‘When Ngapuhi landed at Mangawhai, some canoes came up the inlet which runs up to the Waipu road, but some were left just inside the heads, at the picnic ground, in case they had to retreat when the tide was out. The two parties advanced into the hills, with scouts looking for the best way to the Otamatea. They saw seagulls coming over Pukekaroro (puke -hill, karoro - seagull) so knew that the river was there. They climbed Pukekaroro for a view of the country. Even today there are remains of a Maori Pa on top of the mountain. Battles were fought all over these hills, including Kaiteke and Kaitara. Many canoes were made at Pukekaroro, one of the best places for good long kauri trees. One canoe was brought down the Hakaru but never reached the sea.’ Today as you look at the mountain, the steep flanks of the eroded crater are covered with regenerating kauri trees lifting their heads high on the skyline, looking much as it always has. This was not the situation in 1903 when there was a disastrous fire resulting in most of the bush being burnt off. Re-growth soon began and by 1952 the mountain was richly covered in small native bush and young kauri “rickers". In that year the Government decided that the mountain was a significant icon and should become a reserve. The various owners were approached (the Stewarts included) and all agreed to sell their land on the mountain back to the Crown at three pounds an acre. There were about 207 acres in total, and settlement was completed in September 1954. Ref. Skye to Timber Mountain by D. Stewart.
