The Auckland City Walk is a 50 minute drive from central Auckland. It is located at the end of Falls Road and adjacent to the Waitakere Golf Club. The native trees on the walk include Totara, Kauri and Kahikitea. There were several stream crossings and some nice waterfalls and the area is surrounded by bush-clad hills. The Kauri Tree is New Zealand's largest and most famous native tree and one of the world's mightiest trees. The immense size of some of the trees were left over from the European settlers in the nineteenth century who devastated much of the area with timber cutting.
