Bag End, the Party Tree, and me ...

This is the last remaining film site constructed for the Lord Of The Rings. Located near the town of Matamata, New Zealand. It is definately worth the two hour drive from Auckland International Airport.

I'd advise getting there early in the day, or phone ahead for reservations. Afterwards, it is so much fun to watch Lord Of The Rings and be able to say, "I was standing on that spot!"

Tours to other locations are available, but to see more than just a few interesting sites requires lots of time ... and experienced guides. Sound fun ... just do it ... New Zealand ROCKS!
