We took the ferry to Devonport to have lunch over there today. It is only a 10 minute crossing. It is described as an historic seaside village and has a very pleasant atmosphere even though it was cloudy today.
We took the path out of town to the top of Mount Victoria, another volcanic cone. This is the classic view back to the city centre.
In the opposite direction there is a clear view of Rangitoto Island, the largest and youngest of Auckland's volcanic cones appearing only 600 years ago.
This shows the Auckland Domain and Mount Eden where we were yesterday.
The buttress roots of this pohutukawa tree near the bay were very impressive. Over Christmas it would be covered in vivid red flowers earning its nickname Christmas tree.
