Great Barrier Island (maorsky Aotea, česky Velký bariérový ostrov) se nachází cca 100 km severovýchodně od Aucklandu a cca 17 km severně od poloostrova Coromandel v Tichém oceánu v Aucklandském regionu na Novém Zélandu. Je šestým největším ostrovem na Novém Zélandu. Rozkládá se od severu jihu po délce cca 35 km a zabírá plochu 285 km². Od poloostrova Coromandel je oddělen Colvillským průlivem. Žije zde cca do 950 obyvatel povětšinou na pobřeží. Ekonomika ostrova souvisí se zemědělstvím a cestovním ruchem.[1][2]

ne Bay, on the north-west coast, where Hutton maps somany interesting dykes intrusive into the shales and greywackes whichform the basement of the island, and to make a moderately careful studyof many of these dykes. The number of them is so great at Mine Bayitself, along the coast both north and south from there, and in the valleyof Mine Bay Creek, that a full collection was out of the question, and nomap could exhibit their location unless published on a very large scale. The writer made his headquarters at the house of Mr. Warren, ofPort Fitzroy; and cannot sufficiently thank Mr. Warren and all membersof his household for the assistance they gave him in numerous ways.From there he made a number of excursions on foot and by boat, andfinally took a walk along the recognized foot route from near Coopersto the top of Mount Hobson, thence by a devious traverse to Awana Flat, * Full reference is appended in a list of literature cited to be found at the end ofthis paper. 116 Transactions.
