There are only a handful of sunflower fields around Auckland and New Zealand open for public visits in summer. We spent a beautiful sunny afternoon out at Franklin Farm in West Auckland visiting theirs.
On the way to Franklin Farm though, we stopped off for lunch at Morepork BBQ. An American-style BBQ out in Kumeu with slow-cooked meaty goodness.

Franklin Farm's sunflower fields are only open for a few weeks over summer and the best way to find out up to date information is from their Facebook and website. Definitely a fun activity to do with friends and family.

If you're wanting to visit Muriwai, the little beach we were at is called Maukatia (also known as Maori Bay) but to get to that carpark, on Google maps search "Muriwai Scenic Lookout".

What a good way to get 2024 started than to see you two back doing a local vlog. And as usual Peters stomach prevails. Morepork BBQ is an awesome place to eat,and have popped in there a few times during work hours when we're working out west,we were working out at Waimauku in December. Another great place to grab a bite out those ways is Matty Bs at the shopping center in Waimauku. Their burgers are the size of a pizza - they are big,and even Peter and his uncanny ability to eat,will struggle driving a whole burger down his belly in one sitting,especially if accompanied by fries. Good to see you headed back out to Muriwai,which really isn't too far from Waimauku. If you really want the best west coast black sand,Raglan or Kawhia especially the Hot Water Beach.

Brilliant way to start the 2024 vlog with some delicious pork and close friends The brisket looked so so so good, will head out there when I visit Auckland next, for I am definitely going to have my roast pork nasi lemak fix for lunch The water at Maukatia look so inviting for a hot day and after a heavy meal Have a great week

I don't know how you guys do it but every time you eat food it makes me hungry, like we have those same foods here in Florida but somehow it looks so much better when you guys eat them lol.Question do those wicker things fly? 👀
@PeterandYen
@PeterandYen 5 месяцев назад
You must get loads of great BBQs there 😁👍 I guess in America they don't call them American BBQs though and they're just BBQs? 😂 The weta don't fly thank goodness! It's funny that we have native birds here that don't fly either.. unfortunately why many species go extinct coz of introduced predators over time 😓

First time trying Murican bbq??? Whaaaaa??? First time trying cornbread??? Whaaaaa??? Maple butter tastes like….maple and butter?? Whaaaaaaaaaaa??? What is all this insanity??? Awesome to see the NZ vlogs back and awesome you guys got to try some Murican bbq. Friend recently went to Texas for work and was sending me pics off all the bbq he was eating… by the way, good use of the baby prop 😂… Is the weta a type of cricket? Do you see them in urban areas too? Very cool…. Thanks for including it! Glad to see you guys back!!! Happy New Year!!
@finlayson
@finlayson 6 месяцев назад
Yes, a weta is a native New Zealand cricket (many species), that can often get much larger than the crickets you see in other countries. But they're completely harmless. (And you sometimes see them in urban areas, but more often in rural areas.)
@PeterandYen
@PeterandYen 6 месяцев назад
😂 we don't get much American food here... gonna have to save all that for when we visit the States. Search giant Weta on Google 😂 those are the coolest ones though I've only seen one in the wild one time it was very impressive. My mum and dad's house gets them quite often, but it depends where you live cause they prefer damp foliage with access to rotting wood.

This sunflower field is glorious 😍. The sunflower is taller than Yen lol. This reminded me of the sunflower field we saw from South Island in Oamaru back in Jan 2017. We researched the area and went there, especially for the sunflower 🌻. Sunflower is my favourite 😍. The sunflower field you guys went I'd perfect for prewedding, couple or portrait photo shoot 😅. Can you drone there? What's the Max temperature you guys experienced in summer in Auckland? The last time we were in North Island is in Jan 2017 and it was nice and warm. Then we went South Island after, it so bloody windy and cold 🥶 😊
@PeterandYen
@PeterandYen 5 месяцев назад
If you book the private session you can drone there. But on the open days you're not allowed to. Summer this year has been really hot. We've been hitting mid to high 30s quite often. But it always feels hotter cause the NZ sun is very biting.

@ouradventerousdays 5 месяцев назад

The gannet colony viewing is closed ? Forever ?
@finlayson
@finlayson 6 месяцев назад
The tracks to the gannet colony got damaged in the big storms about a year ago (that P&Y mentioned near the start of the video). They should get repaired/reopened eventually, but - as usual - Auckland Council has given no estimate of when. (To be fair, they have many other tracks to repair as well.)
@joe17587
@joe17587 6 месяцев назад
@finlayson thank you....yes I know it was closed after the cyclone but hoping it was openas its been almost a year.....after over a year I went to Piha last month...was hoping to see the Gannet Colony in few weeks time....hopefully soon....
