Freemans Bay is the name of a former bay and now inner city suburb of Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand. The historical bay was filled in to a large extent, and lost its shoreline to reclamation works. Historically a poor and often disreputable quarter, it is now a wealthy neighbourhood known for its mix of heritage homes and more recent single-dwelling houses, as well as for its two large parks.
Famous quotes containing the word bay:
“The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,
Shedding white rings of tumult, building high
Over the chained bay waters Liberty—
Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
