Mount Albert (New Zealand)
Mount Albert (Māori: Owairaka or Te Puke-o-Ruarangi) is a volcanic peak which dominates the landscape of Mount Albert, a suburb of Auckland.
==Etymology==
Mount Albert was named after Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert, following a petition in 1866 to the Superintendent of Auckland Province, Frederick Whitaker.
The common Māori name of the peak is Owairaka, which means 'Place of Wairaka'; she was the daughter of Toroa, the commander of one of the great voyaging canoes, ''Mātaatua''.〔 An early Māori name, less commonly used, was 'Te Puke-o-Ruarangi', which literally translates as the hill of Ruarangi. He was a Māori people chief and led his people to safety from Owairaka pa on top of the peak through one of the caves lower down the hill. The members of his tribe all escaped, but Ruarangi was too large and did not fit through the hole.〔 The successful war party from the Ngāti Awa tribe were descendants from the ''Mātaatua'' canoe.
