Awaruku Reserve, Torbay, Auckland

Walk 71, 15th August 2021

This is a beautiful patch of bush in suburban Torbay, a northern suburb of Auckland.

We did it on a late winter’s afternoon.

My favourite parts were the quarry, and finding Nemo on a neighbouring path.

There are glow-worms at night by the old quarry.
