Pukewairiki located in Highbrook Park is a volcano in the Auckland volcanic field in the North Island of New Zealand.
Geography
Pukewairiki is one of the oldest known volcanoes of the Auckland Volcanic Field, having erupted an estimated 130,000 years ago.[1] It has an explosion crater around 500 m wide, and a tuff ring up to 30 m high, which has been eroded away on the south-western side. The northern side had a terrace eroded into at a time of higher sea-level during the Last Interglacial. In the past it has erroneously been called Pukekiwiriki, which is the name for Red Hill, Papakura.
The crater is located in Highbrook Park, a public park in East Tāmaki, Auckland on the shores of the Ōtara Creek.[1]
