Secret Garden and Mt Eden

On Sunday morning we went off to a garden at the base of Mt Eden. Auckland is dotted with a large number of such mounts. Each one is the remnant of a volcanic cone.

Zoe really enjoys this place. She can explore the numerous paths and is learning about maps.

The garden is shaded by tall forest trees and tree ferns. But, there are bright colourful gaps such as this one.

We then drove off to the top of Mt Eden. The City and islands views are stunning. The crater is sacred. It was strange to see a herd of cows roaming about in the bottom.
