	About Cape Colville & Te Moehau (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The first European contact was by Captain Cook in 1769, who named Cape Colville, at the northern tip of the peninsula, after Lord Colville, who was Cook's squadron commander in his early days as a Captain in the colonial naval wars between the British and the French in North America.
		The Colville family were Norman nobility that took part in the Norman Conquest of Britain in 1066 and were rewarded with lands in Scotland.
		The Coromandel Peninsula as a whole is an important scenic and conservation area, but the Northern tip…the 30km from Cape Colville to Colville village, centred on the 892m high peak of Mt Moehau (Te Moehau O Tama Te Kapua) is of national significance.

	Captain Cook's Journal during his first voyage round the world, by James Cook (chapter5)
		The Cape is of a moderate height with white cliffs, and lies in the Latitude of 37 degrees 42 minutes 30 seconds South, and Longitude 181 degrees 00 minutes West from the Meridian of Greenwich.
		After we had rounded the East Cape we saw, as we run along shore, a great number of Villages and a great deal of Cultivated land; and in general the country appear’d with more fertility than what we had seen before; it was low near the Sea, but hilly inland.
		Cape Maria Van Diemen is the West point of the Peninsula and lies in the Latitude of 34 degrees 30 minutes South; Longitude 187 degrees 18 minutes West from Greenwich.* (* This is extraordinarily accurate, seeing that the ship was never close to the Cape, and the observations were all taken in bad weather.

		After Cape Egmont the swells continued but the sea was smooth and we had a great 2 hour high speed run into Wanganui which was good for morale.
		As we rounded the Cape and started to head North the 4-5 meter swells were on the tail and we began surfing.
		We had been worried that if conditions were bad we might be late for the 1:30pm reception in Auckland but this wasn’t going to be a problem today as we rounded Cape Colville at 9:45am.

	Amazon.com: Alex Colville: Return: Books: Tom Smart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Alex Colville was a Canadian war artist during World War II - and one of three painters admitted to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp as it was being liberated.
		To express the unimaginable chaos, Colville sought order, which he found in an artistic style defined as "magic realism." In the shadow of September 11, and in the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Colville's art resonates with a renewed urgency and potency.
		I have enjoyed Colville's work for many years and thought reading this book would give me an understanding of his work.Well,after all's said and done I don't think my understanding is any greater.I guess the old adage of "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" applies to me.

		Leaving Mercury Bay Cook came round Cape Colville to the head of the Firth of Thames, having contacts both hostile and friendly with the occupants of canoes which came out to the ship.
		In the neighbourhood of Cape Brett there were more contacts, some friendly and some less so, with the occupants of visiting canoes.

	Coromandel Peninsula - Ecotourism with JOURNEYS International
		The Coromandel Range forms a spine for the peninsula rising to nearly 900 meters, and the large island of Great Barrier, which lies beyond the northern tip of the peninsula, can be thought of as an extension of the range.
		Great Barrier is separated from Cape Colville on the peninsula's northern coast by the Colville Channel.
		Although the peninsula is close to large centers of population such as Auckland to the west and Tauranga to the southeast, its rugged nature means that much of the peninsula is relatively isolated, and the interior of the peninsula and the northern tip are both largely undeveloped and sparsely inhabited.

	Alaska Coal Geology, Resources, and Coalbed Methane Potential
		As depicted in figure 9, the vertical stacking of shoreline deposits of the Grandstand Formation marks a progradational sequence that may be correlated with the occurrence westward (landward) of numerous thick coal beds in the Corwin Formation.
		On the lower Colville River, the coal beds of the Colville Group range from 13 to 39 ft (4 to 12 m) thick (Brosgé and Whittington, 1966).
		Coal beds of the Colville Group have been studied less than those of the Nanushuk Group because they have shown less economic potential; most are thinner, have a high ash yield, and are of lower rank than those in the Nanushuk Group.

		This was to be the first of three voyages into the Pacific Ocean during the progress of which the land of New Zealand was to play a vital role as a base for refreshment and refitting.
		In attempting to round the northernmost tip of New Zealand, he encountered furious gales off Cape Maria Van Diemen which caused him to miss what would have been a historic encounter with the French explorer J. de Surville, heading in the opposite direction.
		This voyage filled many of the remaining vacant spaces in maps of that ocean, and some of the charting, such as that of the New Hebrides, matched the superb quality achieved in the survey of New Zealand.
