Mount Smart

About

Mount Smart (Māori: Rarotonga or Te Ipu kura a Maki, officially Rarotonga / Mount Smart) is one of the volcanoes and Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountain) in the Auckland volcanic field. A century of quarrying removed almost all the 87 metre scoria cone along with extensive terracing excavated by Māori. The former quarry is now the site of Mount Smart Stadium.
