Along the foreshore and low cliffs of the Manukau Harbour, right near Māngere International Airport, lies a window into the deep past of Aotearoa. Hidden in plain sight are the remnants of two different ancient forests, each preserved by its own distinct natural history. What incredible forces froze these prehistoric trees in time, and what can they tell us about the shifting landscapes of our past?
Join geoheritage specialist Bruce Hayward for a short walk around the foreshore. Bruce will guide you through the unique features and the remarkable origins of these lost worlds. Please wear suitable footwear for damp, sandy conditions. The walk will go ahead in all weather, so come prepared for an outdoor adventure into our natural heritage.
Bring footwear for slightly damp sandy walking. Walk will proceed no matter what the weather. No cancellation.
