1. Coromandel
Peninsula
By: Priyanka

2. Coromandel
 The Coromandel Peninsula lies in
the North Island of New Zealand. It is part
of the Waikato Region and Thames-
Coromandel District and extends
85 kilometres north from the western end
of the Bay of Plenty, forming a natural
barrier to protect the Hauraki Gulf and
the Firth of Thames in the west from
the Pacific Ocean to the east. At its
broadest point, it is 40 kilometres wide.

3. Geography
 The peninsula is very steep and is largely
covered in rain forest. The Coromandel
Range forms a spine for the peninsula
rising to nearly 900 metres, and the large
island of Great Barrier, which lies beyond
the northern tip, can be thought of as an
extension of the range. Great Barrier is
separated from Cape Colville on the
peninsula's northern coast by the Colville
Channel.

4. People
 Only five towns on the peninsula have
populations of over 1000
(Coromandel, Whitianga, Thames, Tairua,
and Whangamata), and of these only
Thames has a population of over 5000.
Several small towns dot the coast of
the Firth of Thames in the southwest. Other
small towns on the peninsula include
Matarangi, Whangapoua, Whiritoa, Hikuai
, Tairua, Pauanui and Colville.
