Here's a list of cool things I've found to do in and around Auckland in the twenty-plus years I've spent here so far. Many of them are cheap or free -- I don't go for commercialism or spending heaps of money. I hope you find them as fun as I do. Comments welcome. This site is of course continually under construction.
