Putahi
Putahi is a high rhyolite dome, in the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field in New Zealand. To the north of Putahi is Lake Ōmāpere. To its north east are the volcanoes of Tarahi and Te Ahuahu. History It was the site of the first, successful for the British, battle of the Flagstaff War of 1845–46 against Hōne Heke's Ngāpuhi tribe fraction. Lieutenant-Colonel William Hulme and his force of about 200 soldiers, marines and volunteers having destroyed a coastal pā at Ōtuihu moved on Hōne Heke at his new pā (Te Mawhe Pā) on the Lake Ōmāpere side of Puketutu which they arrived at on 7 May 1845 before its fortifications were fully complete. However the next day, they were attacked on the flank by a force of 140 fighters led by Te Ruki Kawiti and as the British dealt with this, Hōne Heke attacked from the pā defences. In the fierce running battle that ensured the Ngāpuhi Ngāpuhi (also known as Ngāpuhi-Nui-Tonu or Ngā Puhi) is a Māori iwi associated with th ...

Kaikohe Hill
Kaikohe Hill (also Tokareireia, Memorial Hill) is a high hill in Māori culture, Northland, New Zealand with significance in Māori culture. Geography It is on the western edge of the town of Kaikohe. To its north east are the extinct volcanic cones of Putahi and Tarahi (volcano), Tarahi and Lake Ōmāpere. Geology It is a basaltic scoria cone in the southern part of the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field. The geological basement to the nearby volcanoes is likely to be the Permian-Mesozoic Stratigraphy of New Zealand, Waipapa Group argillite at perhaps more than deep as defined by drill hole at the near by thermal Ngawha Springs and seismic studies. Culture The slopes of the hill contain a memorial park to Hōne Heke Ngāpua, a great-grand nephew of Hōne Heke and leader in Māori autonomy.

Kaikohe-Bay Of Islands Volcanic Field
The recently active basaltic Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field in the Northland region of New Zealand is associated geographically with an older region of extinct volcanism to its north the Wairakau Volcanic Centre, meaning eruptions in this region have occurred over the last 20 million years. All the cones older than 2 million years have eroded away, leaving plateaus from Ōkaihau to Kerikeri and north to Whangaroa from the old andesite/dacite stratovolcanoes of the Wairakau Volcanic Centre and the ten million year old or more recent volcanoes in field towards the south. In the southern part of the field, around 12 small basaltic scoria cones, and a rhyolite dome erupted in the last 500,000 years around Kaikohe. The field is considered dormant, rather than extinct. Tectonics The field is part of the eastern Northland volcanic belt which extends south to the Whangārei volcanic field near Whangārei and the south east volcanics of the Taurikura volcanic complex as found i ...
