Hikurangi is a Northland town about 15 kilometres north of Whangārei that grew from the 1880s as a coal-mining centre, its first mine cheekily named 'Keep it Dark'. The Hikurangi field once produced two-thirds of Northland's coal, and a limestone quarry at nearby Lake Waro added to the trade until the last mine closed in 1948. The town turned to dairy, fishing and wood processing and remains a service centre for the surrounding farmland, with the striking Waro limestone outcrops close by.
