Autumn in Cornwall park, Auckland

Autumn in Cornwall park, Auckland

May is the end of autumn in New Zealand. Therefore, winter will start in June. We visited Cornwall park on the last weekend of May and went around the place, looking at the autumn trees and landscape.

The picturesque Cornwall park is a great place to visit in autumn. There are many nice walking tracks throughout the place, featuring autumn trees with red and gold leaves. Cornwall park also features many farm animals, including sheep and cows grazing under the trees.

"Cornwall Park has something for everyone from experiencing an urban working farm within New Zealand’s biggest city, finding off-road trails to run along, playing games on the open-lawns, bbq-ing with friends and family, to simply relaxing under your favourite tree."(http://cornwallpark.co.nz/see-and-do)

Huntly, Towns in New Zealand

Road trip, Huntly, Towns in New Zealand

Phillip had a two weeks school holiday in April, so we decided to visit the Hamilton gardens in Hamilton city. On the way back to Auckland we passed through and stopped by the small town Huntley. Huntly is next to Waikato River and it has several lakes and parks with picturesque walkways, all surrounded by rich farmland. The information below is from the website https://www.newzealand.com/int/huntly/ "The coal town of Huntly makes an interesting stop between Auckland and Hamilton. Huntly is the site of a massive coal-fired power station. It was once a major source of coal – the open cast coal mine produced around 10,000 tonnes a day when it was fully operational. Coal was first discovered here in 1842 by a local reverend. In the 1860s, one of the seams was opened up to provide coal for the river boats using the Waikato River. There are several farmstays in the area along with several great walking trails including Lake Hakanoa, an easy 45-minute loop walk taking in picturesque lake surrounds."
