Herald Island, New Zealand
(Redirected from )
Herald Island is an island of approximately 100 acres (40 ha) in the upper reaches of Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand. The Māori name for the island is Pahiki.[1] It was known as Wood's Island after its first European owner, from the 1840s until the late 1880s, and from the late 1880s until the early 1950s, as Pine Island.[1] It was linked to the mainland by a causeway in 1957,[1] for which Waitemata County Council charged residents a special rate of 5·878d.[2]
There are 275 houses on the island, which has a walkway around its perimeter.[3]
