Shepherds Park, North Shore



View of Greenhithe and The Great Mangrove

Today my flatmate and I went for a walk around Shepherd's Park, which is in the realm of Beach Haven. Boyfriend was at work, flatmate's partner was playing squash, so we had a little girl time. Had my first brush with The Great Mangrove (see: Charlie Brown's The Great Pumpkin). It was just another reason why I love Auckland so so much--there are these amazing little parks and walking tracks. In the case of Shepherds Park, it's impressively well-planned, backing up onto a retirement home, thus lending great (quiet and vigilant) neighbors. It was obvious that not much mischief gets committed in the reserve. However, some of the paths back around the water show that the respect isn't always upheld beyond the watchful eyes of bored and mindful senior citizens.

"Green-washing"

Along the way, passed a rope swing that my flatmate pointed out. Not really sure what's happened here (don't think NZ has the obesity problems that US has?!) but something is definitely amiss here...

Where are they swinging to? and how did they get up there?



Last, two pictures of the rocks around the water:

Right, Jacko, this is the best you get.

Stay tuned for another epic blog post...

For the record, I need an NZ-slang cliff notes pocketbook handy just to figure out what you're saying half the time. That's no bueno. But hey, at least you're blogging semi-regularly!
