Puhinui Reserve

Day 214, Friday 23 March 2018

Puhinui Reserve is a large farm park on a peninsula of the same name on the northern side of Manukau Harbour. The peninsula is part of a volcanic field and contained at least three craters from volcanic explosions, but these have been quarried away. There are views of Matukutura, a remaining volcanic cone just outside the reserve, and views over the harbour. A lookout tower appears to be for public use, but the lower flight of steps is missing.

Distance travelled: 44 km. Total distance so far: 28,376 km
