Devonport
Devonport is one of the oldest and most historical suburbs on Auckland's North Shore.
Its restored Victorian buildings are home to a variety of antique and gift shops, cafes
and restaurants. Its two extinct volcanic cones, Mt Victoria and North Head with its
glorious 360° views of Auckland city and the islands in the Hauraki Gulf, makes this 10
minute ferry destination from downtown Auckland a popular destination for Aucklanders
and tourists. It is also the chief naval base for New Zealand
Quote for the week
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus. It is a medium
via which messages reach us from another world. - Orson Welles
Previously The Bank of New Zealand, this building now houses a pub, The Patriot.
Judging by the golden symbols on its facade, it caters simultaneously for
