Where The Heck Is Mission Bay

Different Auckland town centres have adopted Rugby teams from countries that qualified for the World Cup.

I found out information about; the location in Auckland, something special about this place, a 'potted' history of the place, if it has it's own symbol of some sort.

(If we couldn't find a symbol we chose a picture that told more about the place).

Task One – “Where The Heck Is Mission Bay.

Mission Bay is a suburb of Auckland city, in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located seven kilometres to the east of the city centre.


2. Mission Bay takes its name from the Melanesian Mission, which was based in the bay.

3. Mission Bay has a number of attraction of historic of interest.The Melanesian Mission House was built from volcanic stone bought from Rangitoto. It was opened in 1859 to coincide with the arrival of 38 Melanesians on board the Mission vessel, Southern Cross. By 1915 only the stone dining hall block remained, the rest of the buildings having been removed or used in the repair or erection of farm houses and outbuildings on the Melanesian Estate.
