Auckland, NZ -- must sees

My friend and I are now focusing on the NZ part of our Sep-Oct trip.

Unfortunately, when I copied a personal Google map, I lost some of the descriptions of sightseeing things to do in Auckland.

What are your must-sees in Auckland? I want to see the War Memorial Museum. What else? What are some unknown gems that people often don't think about.
We're not into sailing (which I understand is big in Auckland). We would like to see / learn about local indigenous peoples culture.
We're planning on traveling outside of Auckland but I wanted this post to focus on Auckland only.

I forgot to ask-- how easy is it to go from the airport to the downtown city sites in Auckland.

Would the Auckland Zoo merit a visit? We're planning on visiting the Australia Zoo outside of Brisbane during our three weeks there.
We'll be in NZ after being in Sydney / Canberra / Brisbane / Noosa Heads for a total of 3 weeks.

Thanks!

Another vote for Brisbane’s Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. And Brisbane’s river transport system is awesome. Brisbane is one of our favorite cities in Australia. Enjoy Noosa Heads, fantastic stop.
