Tapapakanga Regional Park...Sacred and Beautiful

Welcome to Tàpapakanga Regional Park, a Sacred and beautiful park on the Firth of Thames, approximately 67 kms (1 hour 10 mins) from Auckland CBD.
A wonderful scenic coastal Farm Park, that has a rich and significant history for both Màori and European people.
From the first arrivals of Màori in the great Waka's (Màori seagoing craft) to the Ashby's, (European settlers) who made a home for their family on the foreshore and established lifelong friendships with local Iwi and a Màori Chief.
A beautiful 197 hectare farm park, with numerous campsites, and free facilities available to all, it's a historic and magical place with many Archaeological sites, extensive flora and fauna and migratory wildlife.
So come along with me as I explore yet another fantastic wild space...right on my own doorstep.
I enjoyed making this video and hope you enjoy it too.
