Geocache Description:

Situated on one of Auckland's many volcanos. If you've got the time, stay and explore the area.

Mangere Mountain is a volcano, a hilltop park; situated on the shores of the Manukau Harbour. The mountain has a turbulent and rich history — volcanic and human. The nature of its 'birth' and the sequence of eruptions can be deciphered from the remaining cone, craters and firepits. There are also many marks on the mountain made by humans. Maori made terraces, pits and tips are visual reminders of their long occupation of the mountain. The website www.mangeremountain.co.nz is really worth a visit, and cachers could consider doing the Landmarker Walk.

The cache contains the usual assortment of items plus a logbook.
