About to throw out the 14 notebooks I've gone through in my 8+ years as Tairāwhiti Museum Director and feeling a bit emotional

Stunning evening quite far south yesterday! I'm moving from Tairāwhiti to Murihiku soon - any Southlanders on here? All local intel and connections very much welcomed :)

Some photos in our new exhibition Up the Coast you might like. Punt over the river in Tolaga Bay, 1916 (the bridge had subsided in a flood) & the Tapuwae causeway on the Coast Road (which was mostly on the beach) near Pouawa.

Kia ora Bluesky, happy to be here. As it's Labour Weekend here in Aotearoa and I've gone down the rabbit hole of Labour Day parade imagery here's a couple of floats from a Gisborne parade in about 1915, Tairāwhiti Museum collection.
