Tarahi (volcano)

About

Tarahi is a 388 m (1, 273 ft) high andesite volcano, in the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field in New Zealand that was never a pā. Northwest of Tarahi is a smaller, 350 m (1, 150 ft) basaltic scoria cone, Haruru pā, before the higher cone of Te Ahuahu. To its immediate east is Putahi and the location of a famous battle of the Flagstaff War adjacent to Lake Ōmāpere. Although mostly covered in pasture, it has some native forest on its slopes and a telecommunications facility.
