Manukau Heads Lighthouse, Auckland, New Zealand
Manukau Heads Lighthouse
Phillip has two weeks school holidays, we went the small town Waiuku, and explored the popular places in this region, such as Manukau Heads Lighthouse, and Awhitu regional park
The Manakau Heads Lighthouse is only a 20 minute drive from the Waiuku town centre. The drive to the lighthouse features a lot of amazing scenery and is very peaceful. There is a carpark and bathroom facilities down at the foot of the hill and we climbed along the wooden staircases to reach the top. The lighthouse opens at 9:00 am and we got there early so that there wouldn't be many visitors. We climbed to the top of the lighthouse and explored other lookouts in the area.
The information below is from the website
Top of the list is a trip to the historical Manukau Heads Lighthouse, jutting out from the tip of the peninsula, located in the Franklin district. The lighthouse is one of only a few in New Zealand that are open to the public and the views are amazing. The wind and salt spray will clear out the cobwebs too. On your way to the peninsula, stop by Waiuku, a historic town on the Sunset Coast. Don't miss The Kentish Hotel, New Zealand's Longest Running Hotel for a drink or dinner and enjoy a view of the estuary.
The information below from the website
Stroll around the Lightkeeper’s balcony just as he would have done nearly 140 years ago. Few other New Zealand lighthouses reward visitors with such an authentic experience. Lighthouse and adjacent Signal Station command wide views of the mighty Manukau Bar, Paratutae (site of the first signal station), Auckland’s sub-tropical Waitakere Ranges, Auckland City and the whole of lake-like Manukau Harbour. Mount Taranaki (2518 m) frequently clears clouds to the south.

Breathtaking Views:
Stroll around the Lightkeeper's balcony just as he would have done nearly 140 years ago. Few other New Zealand lighthouses reward visitors with such an authentic experience.
Lighthouse and adjacent Signal Station command wide views of the mighty Manukau Bar, Paratutae (site of the first signal station), Auckland's sub-tropical Waitakere Ranges, Auckland City and the whole of lake-like Manukau Harbour. Mount Taranaki (2518 m) frequently clears clouds to the south.

Kohekohe church, Awhitu, Auckland
Kohekohe church, Awhitu, Auckland
In the early October, we went to the small town Waiuku, and explored the popular places in this region, such as Manukau Heads Lighthouse, and Awhitu regional park.
On the way to the Lighthouse, we saw this historical Kohekohe church, as this church had been sold to the private owner, we only filmed outside the fence.
I found one article from the website regarding the story of this church
It is an iconic sort of building and New Zealand has pulled down so many of its buildings, says Patsy, who bought the church in September 2012 with business partner and fellow teacher, Antonella Coppolino. In those four years Patsy has learned that the church was built during the Tarawera eruptions in 1886. Papers Past noted the builders were high enough up to see this glow in the sky and to hear the rumble.
It was used as a Presbyterian church, until decommissioned in 1976. Outside is a memorial to the church's worshippers.
The church, I think, has always been on that plot of land, she says. Some people used to walk across to that church across a lot of paddocks. People who went there when they were young, and I am talking about people now in their 70s and 80s, think that the church has been moved but, actually, the road has been changed.
When Patsy and Antonella bought the church, it had been unused for 35 years.

Sunset on Summer 2019 | Manukau Heads, Auckland NZ
Capturing the last sunset of Summer 2019.
Manukau Auckland New Zealand
My Travelogue - Manukau Heads Lighthouse - Awhitu Peninsula
Manukau Heads Lighthouse - Manukau Heads Lighthouse is located atop Awhitu Peninsula on the south side of the Manukau Heads. It's only 8 years old but was rebuilt from the plans of the 1874 octagonal version and incorporates the original 2.5 tonne dome. It is one of the few lighthouses in New Zealand that you can go inside and up to the wrap-around balcony.
From here, 240 metres above sea level, it's a stunning view all the way from the Manukau Bar, over the narrow stretch of water to the Waitakere Ranges and all the way to Sky Tower and Rangitoto Island.
