Kamo is a small township north of Whangarei, approximately five minutes drive from the Whangarei CBD. The name comes from a Māori word meaning "eyelash", but has also been said to mean "to bubble up", referring to hot springs in the area.[1] Mount Parakiore is a volcanic dome rising 391 m to the northwest of the town. It is about one million years old, and part of the Harbour Fault which also includes Mount Hikurangi near Hikurangi, and Parihaka in Whangarei.
