North Head Tunnels

A trip to North Head, Devonport Auckland where the dis-used tunnels are open to the public to explore. BRING A TORCH! ;)
North Head was one of a number of defence forts that were rapidly set up in the late 1800s to defend Auckland from a feared Russian attack. The fort was later expanded as part of Auckland's coastal defence system during World Wars I and II.
Now run by Department of Conservation, the tunnels today are still in place and well worth a good look around, especially the south battery which is still housing a disappearing gun. Stories are told that there are 2 planes from the war buried inside.
In the mid nineties the Army was called in to jack hammer and try to find these planes supposedly in the hill. Local residents where told possible ammunition still fully charged could go off at any time, but nothing was found after several weeks work. Many of the tunnels now days are blocked and the public can only go so far
