Don's message to us all ........

Hi All,

I hope that you have all kept well and have coped over the last two months with public health act restrictions and social distancing guidelines.

I do apologise for the lack of engagement over this time, however as I have had a temporary change in duties that has resulted in having to support front line staff and work their roster leaving little or no time for community engagement.

Thank you for all your support over this time.

Warm regards

Don

Did you know that Surfdale in Waiheke Island received its name via a competition? The winner was awarded a section of land near the beach...

At 8 pence a day on top of a small deposit, a Surfdale section was also promoted as a sound investment – so close to downtown Auckland that “values must go up and up and up”.

Well, they weren't wrong there.

Today, Waiheke Island brings to mind sunny vineyards and beachy weekend getaways. The image of Waiheke as an “island paradise” has its origins in 1920s marketing, but the island has long been desirable even as its character has changed over the past centuries.

As we go into the long weekend and begin to venture further afield again, why not have a read of how Waiheke came to be the place it is today, in this blog about its recent history by our Project Curator, Jane Groufsky.
