Panmure Basin is near Mt Wellington East Auckland Central . Mt Wellington is a dormant volcano and I also believe that Panmure Basin is also a volcano that blew up a very long time ago.
The tide was in, which is fortunate because when the tide is out, it looks like a sink with the plug out.
It still looks good and many like to walk around the Panmure Basin. I like walking but a word of warning. Never go walking alone in a place that is far away from the street anywhere in Auckland. Most of the time nothing happens but sometimes things to come to grief, there is danger of people who are not good people.
East Auckland is partly an industrial area.
All the photos have been taken by my cell phone my iPhone.
Those trees look massive.
they are simple Oak trees and yes they are massive
