==Railway==
A bush tramway line opened between Kawakaka and Taumarere wharf on 2 March 1868 to carry coal for export. It was built to the international and motive power was provided by horses that hauled wagons along wooden rails. It was converted into a metal railway in 1870. In 1875, the government purchased the line and converted it to gauge two years later. The line was extended to Opua in 1884 and called the Opua Branch. In 1925, it became part of the North Auckland Line.〔Robin Bromby, ''Rails That Built a Nation'' (Wellington: Grantham House, 2003), 17.〕 This line has since become a part of the Bay of Islands Vintage Railway, a tourist-oriented heritage railway.
