Mountains & Parks
Waharau Regional Park - covers the area of 238
hectares and provides a diversity of scenery and forest
cover. The huge remnants of hard beech forest and
regenerating native bush are reminiscent of its history as a
lumber source during the gold rush. Visitors can swim along
the beaches or go backcountry camping and hiking.
The Hunua Ranges - Almost all of Auckland's drinking
water is originated in the Hunua Ranges whose landscape
provides a great outing destination. The Falls Road leads
visitors from Hunua to the admirable Hunua Falls which
protrude from an eroded volcanic plug. There are also hot
springs and some regional parks on the eastern and
south-eastern slopes of the ranges.
Ambury Park - This working farm is situated right on
Auckland's doorstep as it is only about 15km south of
Auckland city and near the airport. Visitors can wander
around without having to pay for the entrance fee and
observe a variety of domestic livestocks such as cows,
sheep, chickens, goats, horses, turkeys and pigs being
raised on the farm as well as several species of birds. The
Ambury Park is also a favorite wintering ground for migrant
birds. |
