For visitors there are lots of good things to see and learn about.  Choices include; the museum, glass factory, jade factory, the Eco Centre (kiwis, eels, local marine fish and the rare unique pre dinosaur the Tuatara) and shopping.  Studies We explore the old harbour seeing how the river has changed destroyed this transport system and follow the processes involved.
