Processing information: The record was updated on 25 August 2017 to correct the information about the house seen on the Hobson Point summit. The house had been incorrectly identified as 'Conspio House' from an inscription on a British map reproduced in "Auckland by the sea; 100 years of work and play" by David Johnson, 1988 (p 127).
