Mount Victoria (known to the Māori as Takarunga)[1] is the highest volcano on Auckland's North Shore, rising to 87 m. Its age is currently unknown. Its lava flows now line much of Devonport's waterfront. An important pa once occupied its slopes, and some of the pa's earthworks can still be seen.[2] A scoria mound known as Duders Hill, on Mount Victoria's southern slopes was mostly quarried away.
