Auckland Harbour Bridge The eight-lane motorway bridge is part of State Highway 1. By traversing the Waitemata Harbour, in about 43 metres above sea level, the bridge links St Mary’s Bay in Auckland with Northcote in North Shore City. It is also the location to engage in the adventure to
bungy jump of the bridge.

Motat The Museum of transport and technology is one of Auckland activities particularly interesting for children to learn about technique in the life of early settlers, their means of transport by land and air.

Muriwai It is popular for all beach related activities and well known under ornithologists for its ganntes. Majestic Australasian gannets nest in a colony on Otakamiro Point between August and March. So take your binoculars and take a closer look on these majestic birds and their mating and breeding habits.
Shakespear Regional Park In search for panorama holidays is an excellent destination. The lookout on top of the park displays a three hundred and sixty degree view. On my walk over the grassy hilltops I experienced my first Magpie encounter. The bird was attracted from far to a shiny stud and tried to collect it. The surprise was unexpected.
