> Is it Mt Egmont that is the old volcano in Auckiand ???
Mt Egmont/Taranaki is in Taranaki, near New Plymouth. Not far away is Mt Ruapehu. It is quite active.
White island is also active, off the coast of Whakatane.
Mt Eden is the main crater in Auckland, near Eden Park. There’s something like 22 significant craters in the Auckland region — they’re always discovering new ones.
The big volcanic island off Auckland is Rangitoto.
> Then theres the volcano in Banks Penisular between Lyttleton and Akaroa...
The whole area between Akaroa and Banks Peninsula is volcanic (and quite old). I don’t know the name of any specific one.
Aoraki/Mt Cook is south of there.
I probably remember My Egmont because that was the name of my favorite fire cracker...
LOL
My sister’s family go skiing at Mt Cook
