 Tamaki River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tamaki River, despite its name, is actually an estuarial arm of the Hauraki Gulf, within the city of Auckland in New Zealand.
The inlet extends past the suburbs of Glendowie, Glen Innes, Tamaki, Panmure, and Otahuhu to the west, and Sunnyhills and Pakuranga to the east.
It has several smaller "tributary arms" which extend from it: the Pakuranga Creek and Otara Creek in the east, and the Otahuhu Creek and Panmure Basin in the west.

 Tamaki, New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tamaki is a suburb of the city of Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand.
It is located in the east of the city, 11 kilometres from the city centre, by the banks of the estuarial Tamaki River, which is a southern arm of the Hauraki Gulf.
By a quirk of geographical naming, the suburb of East Tamaki is located several kilometres to the south of Tamaki because it takes its name from the fact that it is on the eastern side of the Tamaki River, rather than from its relationship to Tamaki.

Five miles from the College to the eastward, and on the further bank of the Tamaki, is the chief settlement of the pensioners--called by the English Howick, and by the natives Owairoa.
Bolland's associate in their first work as settlers on the Tamaki, seemed to be marked out as the fittest successor to his departed friend; and thus it has pleased God already, in the short space of six years, to carry down the spiritual line of succession in the New Zealand Church to the third degree.

In Palmerston North District Court recently, Philip Hartridge was found guilty of substantially realigning more than 600 metres of the Tamaki River next to his farm in 2005.
Horizons Regional Council lawyer John Maassen said Hartridge had straightened the natural meandering of the river, narrowed it from about 40 metres to 17 metres and demolished the vegetation and willows that stopped erosion along the right bank.
Horizons engineering officer Gordon Kuggeleijn said that part of the river was only 750 metres from the Manawatu River and in times of flooding the backwash would spill over the channel and swamp nearby farmland.

 A Letter from the Bishop of New Zealand
The Governor, a few months ago, completed, as he believed, the purchase of the valley of the Heritaonga, or Hutt River, from the chiefs, Te Rauparaha and Rangihaeta, and paid the purchase money, on condition that the land should be vacated at the end of February, 1845.

 James White's General Store, Howick.
In the first place it is distant from Auckland by the nearest route 12 to 16 miles, including the Tamaki River, itself about a mile broad at the crossing place; and very frequently so rough that small boats cannot cross at all, or do so with considerable difficulty and danger.
There are only three or four settlers on the same side of the river and the nearest of these, three or four miles distant from the village; consequently there is no employment worth mentioning without crossing the Tamaki.
The nearest they can obtain is therefore six to eight miles distant, and we do not believe that more than one half of them could obtain employment without coming to Auckland, where we may certainly expect to see them six days of the week, to the utter neglect of their own settlement.

 Walkway dispute at school settled - 16 Oct 2003 - National News
An Auckland private school will reluctantly allow walkers to use its exclusive foreshore along the Tamaki River after effectively blocking a public walkway for five years.
During that time the Rotary Walkway on the eastern side of the Tamaki River came to a dead end at St Kentigern College's grounds and started again 1.5km further on.
This was because the college's riparian rights allowed it to refuse permission for the walkway to either cross its land on the cliff above the river or go along the foreshore below.

A bridge across the Tamaki River to Farm Cove near Pakuranga has also been discounted, in deference to routes to the north, south and west of the Panmure Basin.
