Mount Hobson from the east.
Mount Hobson (Hirakimata in Maori) is the highest mountain on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. It rises 621 m from the sea at the centre of the island. Various mountain tracks allow relatively easy access to the summit, with the shortest (2 hour) track leading through the famous Windy Canyon. Great views over the island, to the Coromandel peninsula and the Poor Knights Islands are often possible from the top of the mountain.[1] The summit area is also a breeding ground for the Black Petrel.[2]
