Stonehenge Aotearoa

An henge is a Neolithic earthwork which this is clearly not. It was built in 2004. Nor is it built of stone. But despite that Stonehenge New Zealand merits a visit. Listen to the Audioguide. You can book a tour or for a lesser fee make a self-guided one with-out booking. See the website for open hours. Although it looks like the original Stonehenge and is built on the same scale, this wood and concrete edifice is essentially educational - its construction by the Phoenix Astronomical society was supported by the Royal Society of New Zealand.

Stonehenge Aotearoa coordinates are: LATITUDE: 41 degrees, 6 minutes 4.8 seconds South and LONGITUDE: 175 degrees, 34 minutes 24 seconds East.
