Kaikohe
Kaikohe is a town in the Far North District of New Zealand, situated on State Highway 12 about 260 km from Auckland. It is the largest inland town and highest community above sea level in the Northland Region. With a population of just under 4000 people〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=QuickStats about a place: Kaikohe )〕 it is a shopping and service centre for an extensive farming district and is sometimes referred to as "the hub of the north"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=EDITORIAL - Hard-hit Kaikohe needs to reinvent itself )〕
==Geography==
The town is situated on a relatively level site surrounded mainly by undulating plains〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KAIKOHE )〕 and is nearby many former pā sites including Nga Huha, Pouerua, Te Rua-hoanga, Ngaungau, Kaiaia, Te Tou o Roro, Taka-poruruku, Tapa-huarau, Nga Puke-pango, Maunga-turoto, and Maunga-kawakawa. On the western edge of town, Kaikohe Hill rises 300 m above sea level, allowing views of the imposing sand dunes on the Hokianga Harbour to the west, farmlands to the east and south toward Mount Hikurangi (625 m).
To the north of the Putahi volcanic ridge is Lake Omapere, five km in length, but only two to three metres deep. Around five km to the east is the small village of Ngawha Springs, where hot water springs rise to the surface from the Ngawha geothermal field, and where the Northland Region Corrections Facility is situated.
There are several volcanic scoria cones in the area, which are part of the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field.
