Harakeke Island

About

Harakeke Island is a small island in the Bay of Islands of New Zealand, located about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of Russell. It is situated at the north-eastern extent of the Bay of Islands, about 377 metres (1, 237 ft) off the Purerua Peninsula. It is the largest of an island cluster known as Cape Wiwiki. About 912 metres (2, 992 ft) to the north-east of Harakeke is Tikitiki Island (Ninepin Island). Although less common, some maps list Harakeke Island as Galakek Island. In 2015, the New Zealand Department of Conservation declared Harakeke Island pest free.
