Mount Smart (Māori: Rarotonga or Te Ipu kura a Maki; officially Rarotonga / Mount Smart)[1][2][3] is one of the volcanoes and Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountain) in the Auckland volcanic field.

A century of quarrying removed almost all the 87 meter scoria cone along with extensive terracing excavated by Māori.

The scoria cone was formerly 87 metres high with a small crater (around 57 m higher than the surrounding land).

[6] After a period of time, Rakataura decided to travel south with his wife Kahukeke, who died during the journey.

The legislation specified that the land be held in trust "for the common benefit of Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau and the other people of Auckland".
