The Waitakere Ranges are a chain of hills in the Auckland Region, generally running approximately 25 km (15.5 mi) from north to south, 25 km west of central Auckland, New Zealand. The maximum elevation within the ranges is 474 m (1555 ft). The ranges and surrounding areas were traditionally known to local Māori as Te Wao Nui o Tiriwa (The Great Forest of Tiriwa). It is under the jurisdiction of the Auckland Council.
The western coastline of the ranges consists of cliffs exceeding 300 m (984 ft), interspersed infrequently with beaches. The rugged upstanding topography is formed from erosion-resistant ancient volcanic conglomerate and lava flows laid down in eruptions from the large Waitakere volcano to the west 12–25 million years ago. The ranges are covered in native forest, most of which is in the process of regeneration since extensive logging and farming in the mid–late 19th and early 20th centuries.
In 1894 a group led by Sir Algernon Thomas (the first professor of natural sciences at Auckland University College, now the University of Auckland) persuaded the Auckland City Council to preserve 3,500 acres (14 km2) in the Nihotupu area of the ranges as a bush reserve. In 1895 the national Government vested the land, and several other smaller areas of the ranges, in the City Council as "reserves for the conservation of native flora and fauna". The Waitakere Ranges Regional Park now contains about 39,500 acres (160 km2). The area is also protected under the Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area Act 2008.

Today's episode Ruben Alonso travels to Waitakere Ranges, a nature reserve about 40 kilometers from Auckland. There are many natural attractions that this reserve of over more than 16,000 hectares offers, but we will visit the Kite Kite waterfalls and Piha Beach. To reach the Kitekite waterfalls, you must go through a disinfection process first, because they're obsessed with biological contamination in Oceania. Once your shoes are free of threats, we'll take a 45-minute walk on a delightful wooded path to reach this small piece of paradise - the Kitekite waterfall. And we can't leave the Waitakere Ranges reserve without going to Piha beach, an ideal place to contemplate the immense beauty of New Zealand.

OK, so this actually happened back in March... better late than never! Step outside the city and Auckland has its own great outdoors! The Waitakere Ranges offers a range of walks - you can spend a few hours there like we did, or get serious and do overnight hikes. Highly recommend the Waitaks!

A week where me and my friend be stupid with make up, and I go all around Auckland City and the Waitakere Ranges!
Held on the 8th and 9th of December, at Simon Feasey's stunning private Disc Golf course, Bella Rakha, at the foot of the Waitakere Ranges just outside Auckland. What a fantastic course Simon has built, with challenges aplenty, and many truly spectacular holes. Apologies for the fuzzy zoom shots, the digital zoom was enabled on my Panasonic Lumix TZ30, which I am still learning about. The very elegant "wine glass" basket design is a development of the PDGA basket, and appears throughout the course. It is much more sympathetic for permanent courses, I think. The facilities at Bella Rakha are all any Disc Golfer could ask for. Contact Simon to find out when you can stay, or play. http://www.retreatcentres.co.nz/facilities/disc-golf/ Damian Peters, the 2012 NZ Tour Champion and "Course Pr...
