What secrets does Taniwhanui Point hold? We stand here, at the edge of the Auckland region, gazing at Taniwhanui Point. Its geographic coordinates paint a precise picture: -36.80546956 latitude, 175.16716280 longitude. This places Taniwhanui Point on the map, but it doesn’t tell us its story. Taniwhanui Point is a cape, a dramatic piece of land jutting out into the sea. Official records from Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) confirm its location, matching the coordinates we have. These records also highlight the point’s presence on the NZMS260 S11 map from 1994. Taniwhanui Point, this geographical landmark, has been documented and recognized. But beyond the dry facts and figures, there’s a sense of mystery. Taniwhanui Point, like any place with history, holds stories waiting to be unearthed. What did this cape witness over the centuries? What tales could it tell? Taniwhanui Point invites us to explore its past, to imagine the lives lived here, and the forces that shaped this land.
