One of New Zealand's original homesteads, Acacia Cottage is a rare survivor from early colonial Auckland and an important symbol of the city's pioneering roots. It was built for John Logan Campbell, an early mayor and "father of Auckland".
It now stands in One Tree Hill (not) Park. The one tree was cut down by a Maori Activist in 1994!
Three Good Things:
1. He is now sorry he did that!
2. Watching the thin and the thick all walking this Park.
3. Finding a fresh fruit and vegetable shop here in Auckland.
@k1w1 Thank you for saying this! I really did it for you all - knowing it would be diary as well as good to see! Now almost home, what AM I going to come up with!
