Wardrobe in Burr Kauri and other local woods - Mansion House Kawau - February 1999
Mansion House has been extensively restored and is now owned by DOC. It was one the home of New Zealand's Governor, Sir George Grey, who bought the island in 1862 and converted the old mine managers house into the Mansion and introduced a variety of exotic trees and animals. It has some very beautiful examples of New Zealand furniture in Kauri and other local woods such as the wardrobe in Burr Kauri shown in the picture. There are a number of walks on the island which take one over to the remains of the old copper mines.
