Here are some photos and notes from my visit to Rangitoto Island this morning…
It was hard taking photos as i did the tour, so was moving most of the time, so sorry in advance if some of them are somewhat… blah 🙂
Waiting for the Ferry…….. and the Ferry at the Island….
Us getting off said Ferry and walking to the Island Tour Buss
Some Volcanic Plants and a Historic “Kiwi Batch” Crib…
Some more Volcanic Rockage and a view from the stairs up to the sumitt
More Viewage and Stairs….
More Stairs… Oh god.. the stairs… and some traps to catch bad animals
Finally.. The Summitt… YAY .. and not that you can see it really well, but.. what once was an active volcanio, now in retirement and full of trees…
More stairs… will they ever end ?????? and an old army lookout point from WW2
More lookout stuff and a Geographic Survay Point….
More lookout stuff and rocks…
The entire island is just volcanic rock… we explored rock… rockage… yeah.. rocks… woohoo
Yes, they are … ROCKS…. and some trees, and a lighthouse… now, this lighthouse was built in 1872, and it’s still standing.. impressive much.
The lighthouse again.. and back on the Ferry heading home…

Pending day trip.. Rangitoto Island
Filed under: Adventures, Around Town, Day Trips, Guess what I saw... |
Leave a comment Historic Rangitoto Island, a now dead volcano, is only about 600 years old, and is a conservation stronghold. I’m going there tomorrow (Monday) for a day trip, so should be good. I’m told I need to pack lunch, bring a hat and sun screen.. this all assuming it doesn’t rain. lol
Will have pictures tomorrow for you all 🙂

Yeppie!! Day 4, the last day, I decided to spend a few hours in Hamilton, the next biggest city outside of Auckland, about 1.5 hours drive.
Hamilton has beautiful gardens.. so I took some pictures and post them here.. they are self explanatory with the little signs on them at the beginning to tell you what your about to look at.
There is a lot, so, this may take a while to load. 🙂
Finally, I left Hamilton and started the drive back to Auckland….
One of the many things I love about New Zealand…..
The awesome rolling green fields in the country.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoyed my world for a while 🙂
Feel free to come visit…. 🙂
