Takaparawhau / Bastion Point is a coastal piece of land in Ōrākei, Auckland, New Zealand, overlooking the Waitematā Harbour. The area is significant in New Zealand history as the site of protests in the late 1970s by Māori against forced land alienation by Pākehā (European settlers).
This promontory above Tāmaki Drive has come to symbolise Māori land issues. It was given to the Crown by Ngāti Whātua as a defence site during the Russian scare of 1885. In 1977–78 a 506-day protest against a proposed Crown sale was held there.

Bastion Point is just a short drive south of the heart of Mallacoota and provides safe boat launching access to the ocean. The rockwall also provide enough of a breaking wave for surfers to enjoy, and that surf rolls around into a nice curved beach, great for a dip or a run with your dog.
