We went to Mangere Mountain (Te Pano-o- Mataoho Maunga) last week. It was an amazing experience and we loved it! We learnt the different types of food the Maori used to eat such as kumara, eels, yam and other types of food grown from the land. I also learnt a lot about life in the local tribe, Waihiohua. The highlight of the day was learning about the history of the mountain and how interesting it was. Also the landmarks were very beautiful and the view was incredible!
