Did You Know?> There are approximately 50 extinct or

> The Civic Theatre in central Auckland, which openedin 1929,
is one of just seven surviving atmospherictheatres in the
world.
Aucklands landscape is dotted with the cones of volcanoesthat
erupted comparatively recently in geological time, withthe oldest
(Auckland Domains Pukekawa) having erupted140,000-150,000 years
ago.
As there are about 50 extinct or dormant volcanoes in
theAuckland Volcanic Field, all within about 20km of the
citycentre, theres no excuse not to go exploring. In fact, novisit
to Auckland is complete without visiting at least one ofthese
volcanoes and among the most popular are RangitotoIsland, Mt Eden,
One Tree Hill and Mt Victoria. The volcaniccones were fortified in
pre-European times.

AUCKLANDCENTRAL
Auckland is home to a third of New Zealands population, andits
easy to see the attraction. Its cosmopolitan central
businessdistrict boasts everything from modern fine dining
andboutique shopping to beautiful heritage buildings and gardens,
andits all framed by picture-perfect harbours, beautiful beaches
andimpressive volcanoes.
But the main feature dominating Aucklands landscape is the
SkyTower, the tallest tower in the southern hemisphere. Inside the
toweryoull find first-class restaurants and bars, a lively casino
and atheatre. This 328m-high structure gives the best views in
Auckland;go up to the Sky Deck for a head-turning 360-degree look
atAuckland that, on a clear day, reaches the 80km mark.
Nearby Queen St is the commercial hub of the city, and stretches
from thewaterfront up to Karangahape Rd (K Rd). In this precinct
youll be treated to great shopping (browse around the stores of
renowned NewZealand designers), contemporary cafs, beautiful parks
and photo-worthy buildings.
Afterwards, head to the stylish inner-city suburbs of Parnell,
Newmarket and Ponsonby todelight in the caf culture and sip an
obligatory Auckland latte.
But to complete your trip to the City of Sails, getting out and
about on the harbour is amust; learn to sail, take in the scenery
on a dinner cruise or catch a ferry to Devonport orWaiheke
Island.

IMAGE: Auckland Viaduct, Wynyard Quarter AA Tourism
Desirable Auckland> There are several versions of what
Aucklands traditional
name, Tamaki Makau Rau, translates as. One widely heldversion
suggests it means desired by many and as NewZealands biggest city,
it appears this still holds true forAuckland.
> After the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in
1840,Auckland became New Zealands capital but thisdistinction was
short-lived. Owing to its central locationbetween the two main
islands, among other reasons,Wellington snatched the honour from
Auckland in 1865and remains the countrys capital today.
Aucklands most southern ward is Franklin with its
undulatinggreen hills and the mouth of New Zealands largest river,
theWaikato. Franklin also encompasses the Hunua Ranges, which
areentwined with fantastic walking tracks.
North of Auckland is the Rodney Ward taking in thenorthernmost
suburbs of Auckland. Rodney is mainly farmland,with a large number
of lifestyle blocks in places like Kumeu,Helensville and
Coatesville. These places are popular with thosewho enjoy city life
from a distance.

A vibrant area has emerged in Auckland, which iscommanding a lot
of attention Wynyard Quarter. Part of amammoth Auckland
waterfrontredevelopment, WynyardQuarter has been embracedby the
public since it openedin mid-2011.
With the city centre forming a beautiful backdrop, thisbuzzing
area has widespreadappeal: there are severalinviting restaurants,
bars, cafsand more some with outdoorand indoor areas as well asthe
impressive Viaduct EventsCentre, many public spaces tosoak up the
atmosphere, andan information kiosk.
For the younger ones theres a playground, which alsoincorporates
a basketballcourt. The nearby AucklandFish Market enhances the
appeal of this area, which isparticularly appealing in thewarmer
months.
A fun and novel way of gettingaround the precinct is taking
aride on a heritage tram. This1920s vehicle follows a circuitthat
incorporates Jellicoe,Halsey, Gaunt and Daldystreets, and the loop
takesabout 15 minutes to complete.
Whats more, WynyardQuarter is an easy stroll fromthe Viaduct
across theWynyard Crossing, a bridgethat links the two areas and
israised when making way forpassing boats.
The development of WynyardQuarter forms part of a
widertransformation of Aucklandswaterfront, which makes forexciting
times in the nearfuture.

its diverse scenery and surroundingislands. Half, full and
multi-day tours, dinner cruises andmatch races are just some
options. You may even wish toattend sailing school.

quirky,character-ladenKarangahape Rd. Betterknown simply as K
Rd,this iconic city-centre strip attractsa bustling crowd for its
alternative-style collection ofnightclubs, cafs, and ethnic-dining

The Auckland region is blessed with a bewildering number
ofbreathtaking vantage points. Mt Eden would have to rankamongst
the best; its full-circle views are purely sensational,giving a
contrasting glimpse whichever direction you turn. Fromhere you can
take a fresh peek at Aucklands central businessdistrict and
suburbs, both the citys harbours, the manysurrounding islands and
volcanoes, the airport and much more.
Nearby One Tree Hill and Mt Wellington are impressive
viewingspots too, while Rangitoto Island is worth climbing.
Devonporthas two worthy choices Mt Victoria and North Head and
theArataki Visitor Centre and Piha Hill also provide magicalviewing
opportunities.
But if thats not enough, you can always take a ride to the top
ofthe Sky Tower; its the pinnacle for sublime views.
Aucklands

Must-Dos for
Kiwis.
