Pukekiwiriki

About

The Pukekiwiriki (alternatively spelled and pronounced Pukekoiwiriki), also known as Red Hill, is the northernmost volcano of the South Auckland volcanic field in New Zealand, located east of Papakura, which erupted an estimated one million years ago. The hill was the site of a major Tāmaki Māori pā, and the Te Ākitai Waiohua village Te Aparangi in the 19th century.
