Ambury Farm


Ambury Farm near Mangere Bridge in South Auckland. Here is a lava tube that has collapsed showing the void space where the lava once flowed when Mangere Mountain was erupting.

The reserve looking over to the Manukau harbour. Sheep roam around the beach.

Graduation Ceremony


The AUT graduation ceremony started with a procession around Albert Park onto Queen Street to the Civic Theatre. I am in there somewhere amongst about 400 graduands including Certificates, Diplomas, Bachelors and Masters.

The weather was beautifully hot and sunny and the procession was great fun. Traffic in Queen Street was closed off, there was a bagpipe band leading.

The Civic is an 'atmospheric' theatre which has a star field of the Southern sky on the ceiling consisting of tiny lights. One of only seven remaining atmospheric theatres in the world.
