	A8_KAIPARA_HARBOUR
		In general, this type of harbour mouth is characterised by pronounced lateral instability, and usually occurs on parts of the coast where the direction of littoral drift fluctuates, and where the inlet position is not stabilised by headlands (Hume and Herdendorf, 1988).
		The sand occurring along the eastern shore of the harbour is fine to medium grained silica sands of Pleistocene age, probably deposited in a similar environment to the sands at the harbour entrance and along the west coast (Applied Geology Associates, 1982).
		The land in the catchment of the Kaipara Harbour is predominantly pastoral.

		The three key areas for these non-migratory coastal birds are Papakanui Spit at the end of South Kaipara Head, the areas off the end of the Tapora peninsula which faces the harbour entrance, and the Pouto peninsula at the north head of the harbour.

		Hopes for the construction of a railway line through Avondale towards the Kaipara were raised in 1871 with the survey of the proposed line after the plans were revived for consideration.
		Dargaville, a timber merchant with connections in Auckland, was scathing of the Carruthers report and its author, stating that he believed Carruthers had merely listened to biased third-hand information provided by political interests in Auckland keen to see the proposal not go ahead.
		Further controversy dogged the proposed Kaipara Railway when it was suggested that the line from Newmarket follow a route via Ponsonby and Richmond, through to the Whau, rather than via Mt Albert.

	DNZB / BIOGRAPHY
		With the advent of steamships the Manukau Harbour had become an important anchorage, and it was a vital link between Auckland and the theatre of war during the Taranaki and Waikato conflicts.
		However, the harbour had serious navigational shortcomings which were highlighted when the Orpheus was wrecked at the entrance on 7 February 1863.
		During the 1870s there were three major developments to the harbour: the signal station at South Head was connected to the telegraph system in 1873; a lighthouse was established at South Head in 1874; and in 1878 the Onehunga wharf was linked to Auckland by railway.
