The islands of the Gulf- Part 1

As you may or may not know, auckland is kinda split into two by the Hauraki gulf. The two parts of the city are connected by the infamous harbour bridge, one of the landmarks of the city. As the gulf becomes the ocean, you can find a whole set of little islands that dot about the seafront near Auckland. In a monstrous demonstration of imagination, these are known as the Gulf islands, and make up a maritime national park.


The cool thing about these islands is that they are all withing a short ferry ride from Auckland's Waitemeta harbour, which is next to the city centre and conveniently near to my house :)

So I'll be touring these islands when the weather is good enough and post some pictures! wohoo!
