One tree hill and Cornwall Park


As part of Mor-mor's recent visit we finally visited One Tree Hill or Maungakiekie as they call it in Maori. It is one of Auckland's largest volcanic peak surrounded by an amazing (size and beauty wise)park called Cornwall Park.


We put our walking shoes on, took Bug's bike and had a fantastic time exploring. The park is home to the Auckland Observatory, a great Cafe, the Acacia Cottage and amazing trees.


Bug and I collected some pine cones, acorn and leaves for some of our upcoming art projects welcoming autumn.
We even got to go up to the top of the Hill where you pretty much get a 360 view of the city.


As you can imagine we only saw a very small part of the park and can't wait to go back to explore the rest. Fall is here so I think we might just have to make time to see how the leaves are changing.
