There are not many other cities in New Zealand where you can see 2 native and protected bush from nearly every point in the town centre. Even the impressive Northland Kauri trees have survived in central reserves. 2.

The landscape is very interesting, with extinct volcanoes, magnificent viewpoints, amazing sea views, sweeping rural countryside, bizarre limestone formations, peaceful bush reserves etc. Kensington with Parihaka 4. The 26 m Whangarei Falls are the best of at least 5 other nice waterfalls in the vicinity. Lovely rivers come with them, where you can often find a swimming hole to cool off, spot some eels or river shrimps. 5. Not far from Whangarei Maori and Europeans first set foot on Aotearoa (New Zealand) and you can find old structures of both cultures which bear Bush on Mt.Manaia witness to those times. 6. Whangarei is the warmest city in New Zealand, offering a glimpse of Polynesia, practically all tropical plants will grow here and the winters are mild with hardly any frosts, Northland is called ‘The winterless North’. Taurikura Bay 7. The Poor Knights Islands benefit from warm northerly currents and are teeming with marine life in their protected reserve, offering the best diving in New Zealand and the best subtropical diving in the world - a top 10 dive spot according to Cousteau! 8.

The region has strong farming, tourism, marine engineering, creative, forestry and wood processing industries which allowed it to become the commercial centre of the North, further growth has been predicted. Whangarei Library 10. Whangarei is well connected with New Zealand’s largest city - only a 35 minute flight and just 2 hours drive to Auckland. Copyright by Urban Napflin - Whangarei Relocation Service www.whangarei-relocation.co.nz Welcome to Whangarei Whangarei Relocation Service Short history of Whangarei and Northland In legend, when Maui fished the landmass of New Zealand out of the sea, Northland formed the tail of 3 this fish: Te Hika o Te Ika. Northland was certainly the gateway to New Zealand for both Maori and Europeans. The pioneer discoverer Kupe probably made landfall in Northland and later returned home to Hawaiki from the Hokianga. His waka (canoe) was re-used and came back with the firstMaori settlers - you can see a replica of it in the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Many waka have landed afterwards, and many Maori remained in the north, due to the mild climate and abundant resources. From the waka crews evolved the Maori tribes, with the passing of the times they consolidated and formed subtribes. The many pa sites on the Whangarei hilltops are proof that many hundred years ago the region was already densely populated by Maori. Indeed, one of the biggest pa sites of New Zealand was located on the ridges of Mount Parihaka. The hundreds of Kumara storage pits were designed to store and protect this precious crop. Some pits can be seen on the Ross Track just below the Parihaka lookout, another easily accessible pa is on the Frank Holman Track which starts at the Quarry Arts Centre car park. Also shell middens which can be found in coastal areas, they are the remains of countless shellfish meals. The original name of Whangarei ‘Whangarei te renga Parāoa’ can be translated as ‘cherished harbour - meeting place of the whales’. This can be interpreted as ‘the meeting place of the chiefs’, since whale- bone was used for decorations and weapons reserved only for the chiefs. The northern chiefs met here before and after their travels to the south, using the harbour as a safe launching place for their waka. Captain Cook sailed along the coast in 1769 catching snapper (‘bream’ - hence the name Bream Bay), but did not enter the harbour. By 1839 William Carruth was the first European settler in the district, and by 1845 there were 12 European families living here. After the warning of a Maori attack and a dramatic escape to Auckland it took a few years for settlers to return. The Waipu Museum tells the amazing story of the nearly 1,000 Scottish settlers who arrived in 1854. Their journey led them first to Nova Scotia - from where they had to leave again in self-made ships because of the potato blight - and later via Melbourne and Adelaide to their final destination. 20 years later the Town Basin came into action and a trading post was established, from then on Kauri logging, ship building, brick works, coal mining, cement works (Limestone Island and Portland) and farming were the foundation industries of the Whangarei region. By 1911 electricity arrived, 1925 the railway was put through to Auckland and 1934 the first all-weather road to Auckland was built. Midden (Ngunguru sandspit) Limestone Island Copyright by Urban Napflin - Whangarei Relocation Service www.whangarei-relocation.co.nz Welcome to Whangarei Whangarei Relocation Service The Whangarei region Whangarei has world class diving as well as great snorkelling, kayaking and 4 fishing, a great choice of golf courses, over 20 gorgeous and uncrowded bush and beach walks as well as unforgettable day trips, from the solitary 110 km long Baylys Beach on the west coast to the touristic hotspot, the Bay of Islands. The Whangarei Heads is a scenic drive along a Pohutukawa lined Clapham’s Clocks coast passing many picturesque bays, bush walks and volcanic summits, the roads end at wild ocean beaches – and only a few surfers and fishermen to share them with. The Tutukaka Coast is another Northland gem with gorgeous bays, peaceful river estuaries and million dollar properties, offering some of the finest beaches in the world. All of it loaden with great examples Town Basin of the most stunning natural beauty which is unique to New Zealand. In town, for example, the Hatea Loop leads around the beautiful Town Basin where many globetrotting sailors live, past old Reyburn House, a sculpture walk and two beautiful modern bridges. Walk among the treetops and ancient Kauri trees at AH Reed canopy walk, walk up Mount Parihaka (an AH Reed Park extinct volcano with a panoramic view over Whangarei town and the harbour) from Mair Park or via the beautiful Ross Track from Dundas Road. Behind the mountain the Abbey Caves reserve invites to explore its caves and rock formations. Enjoy the Whangarei Quarry Garden, take a rest in Cafler Park and visit the Botanica Fernery or the Quarry Arts Centre. Stroll through the Kiwi North Museum and Heritage Park or take a tour through Mair Park the National Clock Museum - Clapham’s Clocks. Visit Whau Valley Dam or explore the mangroves at Limeburners Creek. The Whangarei Heads Road starts right at the Town Basin, after a short drive you can turn left up Memorial Drive and reach the summit of Mount Parihaka. Behind Parihaka you can venture into the Abbey Caves and Parua Bay explore a gorgeous Rock Forest. Whangarei airport in Onerahi is situated on an old volcano (the geological name for this region is actually ‘The Onerahi Chaos’) which you can circumnavigate by the water along Beach Road. There is also the Waimahanga Mangrove walk along the old railway line and a view to Limestone Island, where the first batch of Portland Cement in New Zealand was produced and where young kiwibirds are now getting Reotahi and Mt. Aubry accustomed to the wild amongst the ruins. At Waikaraka and Tamaterau you start to enjoy the Pohutukawa lined coastal road and the calm bays on the way, on to Parua Bay, after which the right turnoff leads towards McLeod Bay and Ocean Beach. In peaceful McLeod Bay you’ll love the view of the sandbank at low tide McLeod Bay when time seems to stand still, with mystic and still sacred Mount Manaia towering above the landscape. At the end of the bay you can take a detour to Reotahi behind Mount Aubry Copyright by Urban Napflin - Whangarei Relocation Service www.whangarei-relocation.co.nz Welcome to Whangarei Whangarei Relocation Service and get a close look at New Zealand’s only oil refinery across the harbour entrance or walk up or around Mount Aubry and learn about the freezing 5 works ruins from where frozen meat was shipped to England nearly 100 years ago. There is also a small island marine reserve which was introduced by high school students - good for snorkelling. Smuggler’s Cove Continue along the coast to Taurikura and Urquharts Bay. The walk to hidden Smuggler’s Cove from the end of Urquharts Bay is especially rewarding. You won’t regret continuing on to the wildest surf beach in the region: Ocean Beach. It stretches for 7 kilometres and you can always find a solitary peaceful stretch to watch the dotterels or oystercatchers and soak in the Bream Head fresh energy of this untouched piece of nature.

Consequently there are relatively few graded 1. Many bays are exposed to the Ocean and are thus generally unsuitable as overnight anchorages. They may however still be popular daytime anchorages with boats returning to more sheltered waters over night. Several bays have more than one name. Where we have identified them the extra names have been included but there are probably several bays whose alternative names have not been included. Every bay has been given a grading 1-3. These classifications are as follows-: 1 = Infrequently used as an anchorage either because of poor shelter, overcrowding moorings or better anchorages nearby. 2 = Popular anchorage – this could vary from a few boats in a small bay to many boats in a larger one. 3 = Strategic anchorage in that it is heavily relied on during bad weather – usually also popular in times of lighter winds of appropriate direction 3*= Strategic anchorage in that it is heavily relied on during bad weather but particularly popular as an anchorage.

  • Mimiwhangata Coastal Park Is 48 Km North of Whangarei and 52 Km South of Russell
    The marine areas around Mimiwhangata are just as varied in topography and biology as the land area. They include exposed and sheltered waters, as well as rocky and sandy coasts. These environments support a typical Northland open-coast biota. Sub- tropical reef fish, such as spotted black groper, are also known in the area. Oral history and archaeological evidence shows Mimiwhangata was once inhabited by a substantial Māori community.
