Fig. 2. The breached Waiouru maar crater and tuff ring (seen here in 1993) recently opened<br />
as a public reserve as part <strong>of</strong> the new Highbrook Industrial Estate subdivision, Otara. The<br />
subdivision included the construction <strong>of</strong> an arterial road just outside <strong>of</strong> the tuff ring which<br />
separates it from the Tamaki Estuary. Sometimes called Pukekiwiriki,, local iwi restrict this<br />
name to Red Hill volcano, Papakura.<br />
Fig. 3. Mangere Lagoon maar crater served as sludge ponds for Auckland sewage from 1959<br />
to 2003. Subsequently restored to an intertidal inlet, with the central scoria cone rebuilt, the<br />
whole has been opened to the public as an extension to Ambury Regional Park.<br />
