Kohuora

Kohuora, located in the suburb of Papatoetoe,[1] is one of the volcanoes in the Auckland volcanic field in the North Island of New Zealand.

Kohuora erupted an estimated 34 million years ago,[2] and the irregular V-shape of the complex indicated that there were at least three explosion crater vents.

[3] Peat and lacustrine deposits layer on top of the volcanic soil of the Kohuora.

[3] The Kohuora wetland is an important habitat for native bird and plant species, including Carex subdola, a sedge rare in the Auckland area.

[3] The volcano, alongside Māngere Lagoon, Waitomokia, Crater Hill, Pukaki Lagoon and Robertson Hill, is one of the volcanic features collectively referred to as Nga Tapuwae a Mataoho ("The Sacred Footprints of Mataoho"), referring to the deity in Tāmaki Māori myths who was involved in their creation.
