Auckland Domain

 Last November 5, 2010 we went to Auckland Domain where the Auckland Museum and Winter Garden is located.

The Auckland Domain is Auckland's oldest park, and at 75 hectares one of the largest in the city.^[1] Located in the central suburb of Grafton, the park lies mostly within the crater of the Pukekawa volcano.  Click here for Wiki.


The Wintergarden's Cool House teems with flowers. All sorts of beautiful, colorful lovely flowers. As what I know those flowers blooms changing with the seasons. Luckily, it was the start of summer so we got to see the real beauty of those flowers. There were orchids, roses and flowers that I happen to see for the first time.

A walking distance from the Wintergarden's Cool House is the Auckland Museum, a steepy path as Auckland is really hilly.

The museum is a 3 level building and it's so huge like SM Mall in Cebu. If you don't have a map then surely you'd be lost. I remembered there was no entrance fee. They simply ask you "where you reside?" then if you live in Auckland , admission is free. So, we didn't pay anything and did enjoy a lot.

The picture on the left side is the building. It's huge isn't it? Can you see me? Hehehehe.... That tiny little girl posing in the direction wall.

You will definitely appreciate histories of the past and all things in life specially Maori culture, native people in NZ. We also went to see the Pacific Masterpieces and of course, Volcanoes which Auckland is surrounded by 50 volcanoes. And ohhh, we went to see the nation's pride: Kiwi Bird. We drop by in some areas like the Oceanic World, Weird and Wonderful and we saw Neeeeeemo and Dorrrry. teeheeee.

Below were the pictures in the museum:
