On the last full day I walked to New Zealand's National Museum which is situated in a large Reserve (Park). It is up a steep hill which I presume is a dormant volcano. The museum houses the largest collection of South Seas exihibits and especially Maori culture. It also houses many exihibits of Flora and Fauna especially interesting is the stuffed Giant Moa.

On the way back I took a picture of a church and a rather tiny house which was surrounded by high rise development and it looked very lonely.

Auckland Museum

Pretty extinct and stands over 10 feet tall the Giant Mao, a flightless bird.

A stuffed Kiwi the national bird of NZ

A Maori hut and the wood carving must have taken a long time

An Ocean Going Canoe. I would prefer a bigger boat than this

Auckland's War Memorial, just outside the Museum on consecrated ground

A very lonely house sat amongst high rise development

St.Andrews Church in Anzac Street however I took the picture for that beautiful blue sky behind it
