Introduction
Devonport sits at the tip of Auckland's North Shore peninsula, facing the city across Waitemata Harbour and reached by a twelve-minute ferry. The village keeps whole streets of Victorian wooden houses, old shopfronts and waterfront cafes, while two dormant volcanic cones, Mount Victoria and North Head, rise at the end of the main street with views over the harbour, yachts and the skyline. It was also an old naval base, and gun emplacements and tunnels remain around North Head. There is no ticket — a half day neatly joins the ferry, the old streets and a volcanic climb.
