Auckland to Cape Reinga, New Zealand

The Treaty Grounds are part of the 506 hectare Waitangi National Trust estate, which was gifted to the New Zealand nation by Lord and Lady Bledisloe in 1932. Walking around the grounds you get quite good views across the Bay of Islands.  Select the photo below to see the colonial mission house and historic flagstaff which marks the place where the Treaty of Waitangi was first signed.
