These three link to an excellent Australian tramping site. (They call it bushwalking and the Yanks call it hiking, but it's really tramping.)

http://www.doc.govt.nz

Website of the NZ Department of Conservation. A wealth of information, but allow a little time to navigate your way around. You can use this website to book Great Walks.

http://www.arc.govt.nz/arc/auckland-regional-parks/

Website of the Parks and Reserves Department of the Auckland Regional Council. OK track information for Regional Parks but gaps you will have fun filling in. (That's in part what Fathmandu is about.)
