AUCKLAND<br />
auckland’s soutH is a place oF<br />
complete contrasts.<br />
First, there’s Manukau - a bustling cosmopolitan<br />
centre, home to the biggest Polynesian<br />
community in the world and a melting pot of<br />
other cultures.<br />
Manukau is also where you’ll find New<br />
Zealand’s largest family theme park, plus the<br />
area has a strong history. You can explore the<br />
remains of Māori settlements around Mangere<br />
at the Otuataua Stonefields or walk the marked<br />
trail over Mangere Mountain, the least modified<br />
of Auckland’s volcanic cones.<br />
Along the southern shores of the Manukau<br />
Harbour are waterfront camping grounds,<br />
the Glenbrook Steam Railway and Waiuku<br />
township. Waiuku is the gateway to the<br />
beautiful Awhitu Peninsula, with its coves,<br />
beaches and stunning views of the Manukau<br />
Harbour and the Tasman Sea.<br />
