Oratia Stream, Brook in Auckland, New Zealand.
The Oratia Stream flows for 9 kilometers through West Auckland, from Waiatarua in the Waitakere Ranges to the Henderson Creek and Waitemata Harbour.
Thomas Canty established the first kauri timber mill along the stream in 1841, using the waterway to transport logs during New Zealand's colonial period.
The Te Kawerau a Maki iwi maintains traditional ownership of the stream, which has supported local communities since the 16th century.
The stream features a 5.6-kilometer path that connects Hart Domain to Parrs Park, offering walking and cycling routes with multiple access points.
Six tributaries feed into the Oratia Stream, including the Waikumete Stream that flows northward from Titirangi through Glen Eden.
