Tourists that we are, when we spotted “longest footbridge in the Southern Hempisphere” marked in a random middle-of-nowhere town on our map of NZ, we decided to head there. Unfortunately, we took a wrong turn without realising and ended up in some other middle-of-nowhere hick town, which was severly lacking when it came to long footbridges. The road there did, however, come with some free free-range cows and sheep.

Monday, November 3rd, 2008Our main reason for stopping in Whangarei was to visit Zion Wildlife Gardens, home of the Lion Man – a wildlife park full of big cats like lions, white lions, tigers, white tigers, and some smaller cats like leopards and cheetahs (as well as a retired performing babboon, randomly).
