Tauranga, New Zealand
Mount Maunganui
Mount Maunganui, or Mauao, known colloquially as The Mount, is a 232 metre lava dome at the end of a tombolo in the Tauranga suburb of Mount Maunganui in New Zealand, beside the eastern entrance to the city's harbour. Local Māori consider Mauao to be tapu, and it plays an important role in their mythology. They own the mountain and manage it jointly with Tauranga City Council.
