The pink-coloured Chelsea Sugar Factory is one of the most visible landmarks from Auckland's Waitemata Harbour. The company owns several hectares of surrounding bushland, with nature walks open to the public. It also owns a popular picnic ground, open to the public during the daytime. The ferry pier (whence New Zealand sugar is exported) in the foreground is company property, and is strictly off-limits to the public. The dark green lagoons in the background, which have a very strong, sweet aroma, are where the waste products from the sugar production process are filtered before being discharged into the ocean.
