What sort of landform is the Waitemata harbour?
The waitemata is known as a river in the east.
Why was it chosen to be New Zealand’s capital?
s The harbour’s deep navigable channels and sheltered bays helped to determine Lieutenant-Governor Hobson’s choice of a site for New Zealand's capital in 1840.

Tell me one interesting fact about each of these features of the Waitemata:
Auckland’s chief port -Auckland’s port on the Waitematā was vital to the progress of the city and region.
Viaduct basin -The Viaduct Basin, site of the old fishing harbour, was redeveloped in the mid-1990s as a site where the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron could host the America’s Cup in 1999 and 2003.
Westhaven -Natural features of the Waitematā include Meola reef (also known as Te Tokoroa, meaning ‘a long reef’), a rocky sub-marine promontory.
Harbour bridge -The Auckland Harbour Bridge (1,020 m long) was opened in 1959 to link the Auckland isthmus with the north. It spans the harbour from Point Erin to Stokes Point.
Greenhithe bridge -The Greenhithe Bridge was built in 1975 as an alternative harbour crossing, spanning the upper Waitematā from Hobsonville to Greenhithe on the North Shore.
Natural features -The Westhaven Marina, with 1
800 berths, is the largest managed marina in Australasia, and a symbol of Aucklanders’ love of sailing. Other marinas have been constructed around the harbour.
