Whangārei Quarry Gardens

Green-fingered volunteers have transformed this old quarry into a blissful community park with a lake, waterfalls, pungent floral aromas, wild bits, orderly bits and lots of positive energy. Plus there's a visitor centre and an excellent cafe. To get here, take Rust Ave, turn right into Western Hills Dr and then left into Russell Rd.
