Tis a time of historic reflection...

Phil from Farm Cove

History month continues as the Owairoa area of Auckland's east celebrates 175 years since it has also been known as Howick. This area is fortunate to have had its history recorded by Howick Historian, Alan La Roche, the creator of our local and regional treasure, the Howick Historical Village.… View moreHistory month continues as the Owairoa area of Auckland's east celebrates 175 years since it has also been known as Howick. This area is fortunate to have had its history recorded by Howick Historian, Alan La Roche, the creator of our local and regional treasure, the Howick Historical Village.
Born in the late 1930s at home into a civic-minded family, Alan has voluntarily done something for this community every day of his life since he was able.
It was a pleasure and privilege to interview him last year in a video series - Alan La Roche - My History - a project lead by the Howick and Districts Historical Society. Alan's life history also tells the story of Howick.
You can find the Alan La Roche - My History - interview series on the Howick Historical Village website:

With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?
