Mount Cambria
1907 postcard showing Mount Cambria as seen from Mt Victoria
Mount Cambria (also Sheep Hill or Takararo) is one of the volcanoes in the Auckland Volcanic Field. Located in the suburb of Devonport north-east of Mt Victoria, its 30-metre scoria cone was quarried away. The site is now Cambria Reserve. It was named Heaphy Hill after Charles Heaphy by Ferdinand von Hochstetter in 1859, but this name is not used.
