Mangere
On the north eastern shore of Manukau Harbour, Mangere is a region of great historical significance to the Maori, 以曼热尔山为中心, 神圣的山峰. Easily accessed via the road bridge that links the city-side with the town of Mangere Bridge, there's a very real sense of community here, despite the high number of motels and other visitor accommodation that takes advantage of Mangere's close proximity to Auckland Airport.
正确地了解曼热尔, you need to take a walk up the mountain, and explore the many Maori ruins en route, before spending a well-earned rest admiring the truly spectacular views from the top.
曼热尔的另一大吸引力, 是奥图阿托瓦的石场吗, 250 acres of land containing some fascinating archaeological remains of European and Maori settlements, 追溯到800年前. 回到现在, kids will love the farm at Ambury Regional Park, where they can pet the animals and watch cows being milked.
You can also cycle or walk the scenic trails around the park, or set up your camera ready to catch one of the many native birds found in the grounds.
