	Aupouri Peninsula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aupouri Peninsula is a tombolo at the northern tip of the North Island of New Zealand.
		Close to the northern town of Kaitaia, the North Auckland Peninsula suddenly narrows from a width of 60 kilometres to a mere 10 kilometres, a width which it maintains approximately for the last 100 kilometres of its thrust to the north.
		The east coast of the Aupouri Peninsula is dominated by Rangaunu Bay in the south and Great Exhibition Bay in the north.

	North Auckland Peninsula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The peninsula is easily confused with, though not the same as Northland Region, which occupies the top 80% of the peninsula.
		At its northern end, the Aupouri Peninsula reaches a number of capes each of which is claimed by some people to be the North Island's northernmost point: Cape Maria van Diemen, Cape Reinga, North Cape, and the Surville Cliffs.
		The largest settlement on the peninsula (ignoring parts of Auckland) is Whangarei, on a natural harbour opening on the Pacific Ocean close to the peninsula's widest point.

		The Aupouri Peninsula extends from Kaitaia north to the three capes, with the 90 Mile beach along virtually the entire western length, and a series of beaches and bays indent the eastern side.
		The name Aupouri is taken from the local Maori tribe, and they in turn assumed it from the name of one of the several canoes that took part in a migration from islands in the central Pacific, probably about 900 AD.
		Awanui township is at the southern extremity of the harbour of the same name, about 8 km north of Kaitaia and at the point where the main east coast road and the main highway north meet.

		Aupouri severely defeated Ngati Kuri, and the survivors withdrew to the valley of Whangape River, at Rotokakahi below Pangaru hills.
		In their turn the Aupouri remnants withdrew northwards into what is now known as Te Aupouri Peninsula.
		As Te Aupouri also married into Ngati Kuri, their name became widespread in Muriwhenua by the time they were settled in their present areas, about 1720.

		Although a regional bore survey would be ideal throughout the entire Northland region it is potentially costly both in resourcing and financial output.
		As the study concludes the current groundwater allocation in Aupouri is sustainable, such a survey would not appear to be a priority.
