Musick Point

The headland was originally used by Māori of the Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki iwi (tribe), who dug a ditch across the peninsula as part of Te Waiarohia Pā (sometimes recorded as Te Naupata Pa), until it was overrun by the neighbouring Ngāpuhi iwi in 1821. The land was later parceled up and sold on. Today, it is a favourite spot for walking, wedding photos, sightseeing over the harbour and for recreational fishing, as well as being the site of a golf course. == Radio station ==

The increase in aircraft in the 1930s facilitated the need for international air communication in New Zealand. The Group, which includes several former Musick Point operators and technicians, has a long-term lease on the building, and has reactivated the station on the amateur (ham) radio bands using some of the former ZLD transmitters along with a range of modern equipment. At a 2003 rededication of the building, a plaque recognising the "engineering heritage value" of the station was presented by the Institute of Professional Engineers New Zealand. In recognition of the station's historical importance, the group has been issued the amateur radio callsigns ZL1ZLD and ZL1ZLF. The Group maintains a radio museum in the building and operates a low-power FM broadcast station with recorded information about Musick Point. One of MPRG's projects was keeping the traditional marine radiotelegraph frequency of 512 kHz alive, and it had a special licence to operate on this frequency which is outside the normal amateur radio bands. These transmissions ceased in mid 2013 when amateurs were allocated a new 630 metre band (427–479 kHz) and authority to operate on 512 kHz was withdrawn. ==Climate==
