Mount Hobson, Auckland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Hobson (Remuwera in Māori) is a volcano cone of the Auckland Volcanic Field in Auckland, New Zealand.
Located in the Remuera suburb, to the east of the Newmarket commercial suburb, it has been extensively modified by human use, first by Māori use as a Pā (fortification) and later by being used as a quarry, pasture land and having its top transformed into a water reservoir for the surrounding area.[1]
