Bluff Hill Lookout, Bluff Hill, Napier 4110, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand 

During World War II and for a few years after hostilities ended, this lookout was occupied by 77 Battery 10 Coast Regiment NZA.

The Battery manned two 6-inch guns in concrete emplacements built on a strategic site offering commanding views of Hawke Bay – the highest point of the Bluff Hill Domain, above the Port of Napier.

The gunners’ barracks were located behind the Battery. A plaque, with the following inscription, records the army’s presence on the site.
