Here's a video from a hike we did a few days ago. It was about a 3 mile hike, up hill to Parihaka Lookout. The views were great of Whangarei, the Town Basin Marina and of the river. You can also hear the cicada's singing their tune! Do you see Tanga in the video?
We read this description about the Parihaka Lookout in a Whangarei Walks brochure we have. "Parihaka is an old eroded volcanic cone rising to 241 metres (not a typo, this is how NZ's spell it) above sea level. There are extensive remnants of Maori settlement extending along the ridge and including three heavily defended pa sites. The Pa (meaning settlement in Maori) complex at Parihaka was the site of a significant battle and massacre in the 1700's. Whangarei's War Memorial stands at the summit of Parihaka and the lookout offers spectacular views of the city and harbour."
