Introduction	Kia Ora, welcome to Aotearoa Rocks, brought to you from beautiful Ōpōtiki in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, my new home after many happy years living in Mangere Bridge, South Auckland. Living beneath one of Auckland's many wonderful volcanoes, Te Pane o Mataoho Mangere Mountain, really brought the stories of the land alive for me while studying Earth Sciences and Environmental Science at Massey University. I'm very excited to be living in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, with its rich geology, archaeology, and environment. This blog not only explores geological history, it explores human history, and looks to the future of these environmentally fragile islands that are our home. I hope you enjoy visiting me here and choose to follow my facebook page Mangere Bridge Rocks https://www.facebook.com/mangerebridgerocks/ and Aotearoa Rocks blog for regular updates about this wonderfully diverse and rich country, it's geology, ecology, environment, history, and people. .
Interests	Geology, geography, environmental science, ecology, geoheritage, geotourism, conservation, philosophy, natural history, gardening, archaeology, education, communications
