Talk:Portage Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are two different roads calld "Portage Road" in Auckland. One is in Otahuhu, and the other between New Lynn and Green Bay. Both are named for following the route of a former portage from one body of water to another. (1) The Portage Road in Otahuhu follows an old portage between the Manukau Harbour and the Tamaki River. (2) The Portage Road between New Lynn and Green Bay follows an old portage between the Manukau Harbour and the Whau River, an estuarial arm of the Waitemata Harbour.
