This place has everything - sensational views of Auckland harbour and Auckland city, history with the tunnels and museum on Mount Victoria and North Head, excercise as you walk around Mt Victoria and the Devonport shopping area - oh! Did I say 'shopping'? There are some lovely tourist and local shops and lots of cafe's and restaurants to eat at. Also this is a short ferry ride from central downtown Auckland so you get a nice boat ride at the same time. My children love going to North Head (they're in their teens now and we've been going there since they were toddlers). Just North Head itself is a great outing - they love wandering through the old war tunnels and sliding down the grassy slopes on a bit of cardboard. A really great, relaxing, fun day out doors.

I like Lake Pupuke, it is a good spot to watch the birds! Also great if you are a photographer and want to get some good shots of the birdlife. I really liked the Pekin and Muscovy ducks but sadly the Pekin ducks have passed way and I do not know what happened to the Muscovies. I really hope they come back! It is a great place to visit on a sunny day.
