Introduction

One Tree Hill (Maungakiekie in Maori) is a volcanic cone in south Auckland, once a major Maori pa and terraced settlement. Its famous single tree (destroyed in 2000, since replanted) gave the hill its name, and Sir John Logan Campbell's monument crowns the top; the summit offers 360° views over the city, both harbours and distant ranges — among Auckland's classic viewpoints.
