Here’s what visitors to the exhibition have been saying

- “Wow, fantastic images, this is an incredible display”

- “The best Heritage Festival exhibition I’ve seen”

- “I never knew Onehunga had changed so much”

- “This has really brought back some memories, it is wonderful”

Over 150 pictures are on display showing Onehunga since the 1850s, including some beautiful large panoramas, indicating just what Onehunga has lost and how industry and roading have shaped the foreshores. Many of these pictures have been digitally restored to a high quality, to truly enhance this exhibition.

This is your final chance to see this fantastic exhibition so don’t delay, get down to the Aotea Sea Scouts building this weekend and ensure you don’t miss out.
