The Hobbiton Movie Set Day Tour - From Auckland
The volcanic site of Mt Wellington was formed 9000 years ago. It was used as a village by the Maori with evidence dating back 600 years ago.
Winstones Limited began quarrying stone here back in 1936 – and much of the stone was used for building Auckland.
In 2001 the site was sold and is now a large residential area.
