Michelle & Brian discovered the Pt England walk. Reconnaissance was required. So Saturday afternoon was an epic exploration of Auckland City’s eastern suburbs, parks, beaches, waterways, wildlife, culture and commerce.

We kind of missed Glover Park on the way in, but followed the route through Churchill Park, explored the Tahuna Torea wildlife reserve with the sand-spit at the mouth of the Tamaki river. Through Wai-o-Taiki nature reserve, and Pt England reserve where Kilikiti was being played. Into G.I. town centre to purchase icecreams, up Apirana reserve to the ridge and St Helier’s Bay Rd. Then back down through St Helier’s and Glendowie, through Glover Park this time where the English style of cricked was being played. Out to the car which we’d parked on Cliff Rd near Ladies’ Bay.
