fun free things to do in Auckland

What can you do with 6 weeks of holiday's and 3 "bored" kids?

Well, we've discovered going on tramps (walks) in the local bush have been a fantastic way to keep them entertained.

Yesterday, we attempted a nice tramp in the hunua's to go to Cossey's Dam. The excitement began with needing to cross a small river over rocks, and ended too quickly with Hope being stung by a bee about 20 minutes later after having to climb 200 steps (no exaggeration!).

That hasn't deterred us, today we climbed Mangere Mountain and walked to the local pools and back to have a swim.

All free activities, except for the petrol to get to Hunua and Mangere.
