Auckland Heritage Festival-Heritage Walk: Papatoetoe railway precinct

Jennifer Clark from Papatoetoe Historical Society Inc

Join members of the Papatoetoe Historical Society on a walk through the railway heritage precinct.

The arrival of rail to Papatoetoe in 1875 had a huge impact on the lives of residents and surrounding areas. A journey by train brings back many memories. This heritage walk starts at the relocated Old Papatoetoe Railway Station which is now a café. It goes past former railway houses and buildings, crosses the footbridge to the current railway station and back to the beginning.
Afterwards, you can see inside the station building and view railway memorabilia.


Date: Saturday 12 October 2019, 2pm-4pm Old Papatoetoe Railway station 1 St George St, Papatoetoe

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
