Welcome to New Zealand
On one of our first days in Auckland we visited One Tree Hill. It is situated convienently next to a computer repair shop in Royal Oak, a subdivision of Auckland, NZ. At the top is a monument wished to be built by Sir John Logan Campbell, out of his admiration for the Maori people and their culture.
One Tree Hill is a 182m high volcanic peak that overlooks Auckland city. From the top of the hill, one can see all of Auckland and both of Auckland’s harbors.

What a beautiful place! Thanks for sending the photo. Before you left the states, I bought a large atlas. I just looked at the map of NZ and found Auckland AND One Tree Hill. I had not realized NZ consisted of two islands. Nor did I realize Auckland was in between two large harbours. — Clara

Nice picture, but is there any civilization near by? It looks like what they say is true about the country, sheep out number people (I count 9-1)! Do you have any pics from the top?

Yeah, check the next post. I thought a picture of sheep would be fitting for our first picture
