The Hauraki Gulf is a coastal feature of the North Island of New Zealand. It has a total area of 4000 km², and lies between the Auckland Region, the Hauraki Plains, the Coromandel Peninsula and Great Barrier Island (which surround it in anticlockwise order). Most of the gulf is part of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.
Hauraki is Māori for North Wind.

“His father watched him across the gulf of years and pathos which always must divide a father from his son.”
