1. The flag staff that Hone Heke cut down 4 times back in the 1840's because he was not impressed with the way that the British were dealing with Maori. I notice that now adays the flag staff is made of axe proof metal. Also that someone has scratched "Hone" into the paint.
2. The view of Russell from the flag staff.
3. Tapeka point at the top of the Russell Peninsular, looking out towards Bay of islands and Roberton Island (I think).
4. Sunset from our motel looking towards the flag-staff. If the picture had sounds you might be able to hear a kiwi calling. That would be a video, and I did not take one, being keen to eat the rather nice steak that was waiting.
