=Interveiw about North Head =

=North Head has inspired amazing myths and stories about hidden tunnels containing things from old guns, ammunition and two Boeing aeroplanes. Unfortunately research and investigation shows that this is untrue but that still adds to North Heads unique history. = =  Photos taken by Amelia and Caitlin - March 2009 = = = = = =North Head is considered the most significant coastal defence site in the country because of the size and variety of its defences and the fact that it includes elements from all periods of New Zealand's coastal defence history spanning nearly 120 years of military history. Since the Army left North Head in 1996, the whole area has been taken over by the Department of Conservation as a reserve, and provides for beautiful walks along the waterline or onto the top with amazing views of Rangitoto and Auckland thanks to the height of the hill. = = = =Also popular are exploring gun emplacements and the tunnel system, which is open to the public, though torches are needed to explore it! = =<span style="background-color: rgb(0, 175, 255);"> = =<span style="background-color: rgb(0, 175, 255);">Page 1- Home Page = =<span style="background-color: rgb(0, 175, 255);">Page 2- History and slideshow = =<span style="background-color: rgb(0, 175, 255);"> = =<span style="background-color: rgb(0, 175, 255);">Page 4- Picture Gallery = =<span style="background-color: rgb(0, 175, 255);">Page 5- Bibliography = =<span style="background-color: rgb(0, 175, 255);"> = =<span style="background-color: rgb(0, 175, 255);"> = =<span style="background-color: rgb(0, 175, 255);"> = =<span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; background-color: rgb(0, 175, 255);"> =
