Introduction
Mount Victoria (Takarunga in Maori), at about 87 m on the Devonport peninsula, is the highest point of Auckland's North Shore. The summit simultaneously frames Rangitoto, the gulf, downtown Auckland and the Harbour Bridge; 19th-century gun emplacements survive on the cone, and dusk is the classic hour for city panorama shots.
