AJ Hackett Harbour Bridge Bungy Jump

One of the very capable staffers at the harbour bridge jump oversees a retrieval.


Danish journalism student Hanne Damgaard Mogensen prepares for her jump.


Classmate Julie Rode Nygaard patiently waits her turn. Head over to their blog if you'd like to see video footage of the leap.











Canadian Ashley Kennealy watches with baited breath as she gets ready to take the plunge.


The look on her face says it all.

First Impressions of Auckland

Downtown Auckland and the Sky Tower from the Harbour Bridge.


The Dome inside Britomart Trainstation.


One of the beautiful trees lining the sidewalks throughout Albert Park.


The approach to Albert Park fountain reminds me so much of Miami Vice.

A sunny sidewalk near Mission Bay.

View of the iconic Sky Tower in central Auckland. At 328 meters tall is it the highest man-made structure in New Zealand, and for the right price they will let you jump off of it.
