I live in the district called Waimauku, North West of Auckland City. The village is only small but the district covers quite a large area including Muriwai Beach and Woodhill Forest. There are lots of farms and lifestyle blocks, horse riding, adventure parks in the forest and the surf at Muriwai.
Great challenge Joce. Hope this is ok as I couldn't find 1 photo I made a collage then masked it. Let me know if this is not what you want.
