Possums

Waiheke is part of only 10 per cent of New Zealand free of the possum pest. Various sightings have been reported. At least one, when a Waiheke builder managed to run over a possum on Crescent Road East in 1999, has been verified. Others have proved to be hoaxes. However, the now infamous Rocky Bay possum, sighted by several people including former islander Peter Topzand, was never found, despite extensive searches. One such search was led by Sandra Lee.
