These photos were all taken at the Whangarei Quarry gardens. From the looks of the place I’d guess it was previously an open cast mine that they attempted to convert and beautify. I really liked the lake.
The only thing that concerned me there was a big hazard sign next to the arid (cactus) garden reading : Beware of large rocks falling, spiky toxic plants and possible land slides. Not the most reassuring thing to read. As soon as I saw it I turned back in the other direction.
I didn’t have long enough here because we arrived at 4:30pm and they were locking the gates at 5pm, but I think I did pretty well for only 20 mins with the pictures that I did get.
