For my first full day in Auckland, I went up to Sky City to the tourist information centre and picked up a leaflet on the street art in an area known as Karangahape Road or K’Road as its known here, so off I went, camera in hand to take a few shots of them, it was an interesting walk in a slightly off-beat area and I saw parts of the city that I would never normally see and some of the artwork was very good.
