Here's a view of Auckland City, from the boat, moored near Rangitoto, (which is a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf. it has a really distinctive 260 metre high volcano cone which is visible from nearly everywhere. )
It is the most recent and the largest of the 48 volcanoes here, and is Māori for 'Bloody Sky', because when it erupted the sky turned red! I've walked up to the crater at the top, and it wasn't fun! The volcanic boulders make it slow going.. but the views are spectacular and it had to be done, I guess..
