As we motored from the Auckland International Airport into Auckland proper, we stopped off and had a look about the Mangere Bridge area of Manukau. It seems there are only a few proper cities in the area, and most cities are broken down into districts or communities... thus, we were wandering about in the Mangere Bridge area of Manukau.

Not one to splurge on signs, we had to take our locale identity from a park sign; also nice to sit on.	The church seems to use its backyard as a cemetery, which suits everyone just fine, I s'pose.	Not to be confused with 10-pin bowling, lawn bowling lends well-groomed laws to the scenery.
Roundabouts seems to be the way of life at intersections. Just remember to Give Way (yield).	Tip Tops seem to be the equal of 7-11s in America. We found the news story on the left a bit odd.	The public restrooms are quite nice, really, and virtually no graffiti, which came as a bit of a surprise.
