PORT COOPER OR WHANGARAUPO LYTTELTON HARBOUR - BAY OF THE RAUPO REEDS
Volcanic activity between 11 and 6 million years ago led to the formation of two overlapping volcanic cones. After this activity ceased, the volcanic complex became eroded to half its original height, and deep valleys formed. The present harbours at Akaroa and Lyttelton were formed when the valleys were flooded as the sea level rose to its present height about 6,000 years ago.

Mount Pleasant the trig-station hill at the rear of Lyttelton bears the Maori name of TauhinuKorokio. On this hill near the present tea house stood the old Ngati Mamoe Pa called Tauhinu Korokio. When the early settlers came in the fifties of last century the posts of its stockades were still visible. . Finding that the Maori camping site interfered with the Lyttelton Tunnel Works, Mr T. W. Maude, Provincial Government Secretary, on February 22nd, 1861, gave Maori notice to quit. The notification was delivered to Paori Taki and Wiremu Te Uki, but Maori removed the whares on March 14th, 1861, only at the earnest pleading of their friend the Rev. James Buller, Wesleyan minister.
