This is a good stop just for the photo opportunity let alone the flagstaff history. You can drive up and it’s only a short walk to either the flagstaff and the sundial. On a nice day, the views across the bay (to Waitangi even) are...More
We drove to the lookout, mainly because the weather was bad and once up there we didn't get very good views either. Decided we'd go back the next morning on our way out of town, so we drove up again. Second time weather was better...More
