Otuataua Stonefields

Ihumatao Quarry Road

The 8,000 hectares of volcanic stonefields in the Auckland area were once intensively cultivated. The stones flung out in successive volcanic eruptions were used to demarcate garden plots and to warm the soil. Now you can walk through what is left and contemplate how people used to live.
