North Head, Devonport, Auckland

During the summer holidays in December, we went to Devonport town in North Auckland. We revisited some popular spots in this town, such as North head and Mt Victoria.

North Head is one of the oldest of approximately 50 volcanic cones in the Auckland volcanic field having been formed over 50,000 years ago in a series of great volcanic explosions.

Whether you wish to delve into the historical detail of the location or enjoy a picnic lunch and the picturesque views, North Head is a fantastic place to explore and spend time.
