Facts and practical information

Portage Road in the Otahuhu suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, follows the path of a former Maori canoe portage between the Tamaki River and the Manukau Harbour, which facilitated access between the eastern and western sides of the North Island. The history of the site is described in a plaque that is embedded in a concrete plinth at the intersection of Portage Road and Great South Road. The road marked the northernmost boundary of the Borough of Otahuhu until it was absorbed into the new City of Tamaki, then later on, Auckland City and Auckland Region. ()
