Walk Location Category: Auckland Central

This weekend we embarked on an alternative Auckland coast to coast walk – from Waitemata Harbour to Manukau Harbour with less road and more parks

Mt Eden is one of the most popular places to visit in Auckland. Today’s walk around Mt Eden in the autumn sunshine and clear skies was wonderful.

Beautiful gardens, huge Pohutukawa trees, history, sculptures, monuments, swimming and wonderful harbour views ensure the Parnell Rose Gardens Loop is a walk for all to enjoy.

Discover why I enjoyed the Downtown and Pink Pathway Loop in Auckland CBD so much.
