Manukau Heads

Is Manukau Heads anywhere near Dargaville?
Could you maybe describe what Dargaville is like, we (my wife and I)have the chance to go live there for a year. If you have a link to some pictures pls post a link.

Hi
I have been there. Nice place.Real frontier town. There is a big river that flows through/past the town, and its not too far to the might west coast.
Dargiville is at the very end of the Kaipara harbour, which is the next harbour north of the Manukau harbour (where I live), and the Kaipara harbour is the largest in the southern hemisphere (or is it the 2nd largest).
Its a bit warmer than where I am , becuase its closer to the equator (further north).
My sister and her husband farm only an hours drive away, and there weather station is on the web at:
