Mount Wellington/ Maungarei is one of the youngest volcanoes in Tamaki Makaurau, having been active only 10,000 years ago. It has a circular base and three overlapping craters, with one now mostly filled by a water reservoir. Lava flows mostly headed towards Ellerslie and Penrose and one flow helped from the wetlands that lie in nearby Waiatarua Reserve. Maungarei means “ the watchful mountain “
