Second Beach Park Looking at Auckland Harbour Bridge (6/6)

List item
Approved

This is the second but official “Pt Chevalier” beach that is much more known to most people, and this shows the Auckland Harbour Bridge in the fog, over the mud flats.

You may notice a patch of dark brown before the Harbour Bridge. This is the legendary attempt about Maori Faeries trying to build a bridge from this side to the north shore.

The Maori Faeries had to do all the building at night or else during the day they would turn to stone. When they had worked all night and still not finished their bridge, the dawn came. “Stone be All!” and what you see here are the stony remains of poor hard working Maori Faeries.
