Parks & Nature
A wildlife sanctuary and one of New Zealand's most important and exciting conservation projects. A hundred and twenty years of farming had seen this 220-hectare island stripped of 94% of its native bush but between 1984 and 1994, volunteers planted between 250,000 and 300,000 trees. The Island is now 60% forested with the remaining 40% left as grassland for species preferring open habitat.
In conjunction with this planting programme, all mammalian predators were eradicated and a number of threatened and endangered bird and reptile species have been successfully introduced. http://www.tiritirimatangi.org.nz/

Black sand, burns your feet in summer, dries to a crunchy biscuit crust, piles up in the crutch of your togs, gets everywhere. Surf! Sounds like a war going on out there in the night – pounding cannons, rifle cracks, explosions.
Benign days. Turquoise, glistening sea. Heat vibrating off the beach. Chips, milkshakes, sun umbrellas. Cool nights, dark mysterious bush, the milky way you can almost touch it.
Sunsets, orange, pink, red, purple, the green flash, ever seen it? Life savers, boaties, clubbies rule in green, black and red. http://www.piha.co.nz/

You can see a great variety of contemporary NZ artists, and its exhibitions are always interesting and varied. Also a beautifully restored colonial homestead set in a regional park, which has orchards, gardens, wetlands and rolling park landscape with enormous heritage trees. A great place too to have brunch or lunch on its wide, sheltered verandahs, often a very sunny spot all year round.

This is more than an art gallery as it also has a theatre which tends to have Polynesian theatre and music performances. It's a well designed building representing contemporary Pacific Island architecture; the exhibitions are really interesting and good way to learn about Pacific culture in today's world: https://www.facebook.com/mangereartscentre
