Bay of Islands - Russell

One of the oldest church (it claims to be the oldest) sites in the country is Christ Church. First built in 1836, it survived the sacking of Kororāreka in 1845. It was transformed to its current design in 1871. The churchyard has been used since 1836. The church still bares a few musket holes.

and yes Pam has been here too !!!
