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.

The exhibition runs from 8th to 16th October from the hall of Aotea Sea Scouts, between 10:00AM and 4:00PM daily.
This is not only an opportunity to see these wonderful photographs and learn about the history of Onehunga's foreshores from Te Papapa round to Hillsborough, but also an opportunity to see inside our historic building, normally only accessible to families of Sea Scouts.
Entry is free, but any donations to the Scouts are warmly appreciated.
Parking is outside the building, or opposite in Gloucester Park or along the motorway reserve, but please be very careful crossing the road. You can also park along Orpheus Drive and walk back to the Sea Scouts, or across in the Onehunga Lagoon carpark and cross via the footbridge then walk along Orpheus Drive.
A book titled "Onehunga's Changing Foreshore", including many of the photographs being exhibited, and covering the history in detail, will be available for purchase at the exhibition. The book is by Sea Scout leader and author Stephen Lasham and costs $45 cash (we cannot do EFTPOS at the hall).

I have a large number of 8*12 photographs that need mounting onto backing boards. Time constraints and doing it all myself manually mean this is going to be difficult to achieve. Hoping a generous framing studio will be willing to assist in this worthwhile project pro bono, with backing boards at cost, I'm happy to come and learn from you and do the work with your equipment if you are willing. If you can help or want more information before offering, please let me know. You will be recognised as a contributor of the event at the event for helping.

The trailer was built in 2014 by Hosking Trailers Ltd in Albany. The trailer has seen very little use over the last six years so is in excellent condition with only a light rust in a few places. One of the tires was replaced with a new one, and the brake pads were replaced in order to get the warrant of fitness, which is current at 5th January. From memory at the time the trailer cost in excess of $4,000.
The boat is in need of TLC. It was parked on the Manukau Harbour for the last six months and we were not able to go out to it due to COVID-19 restrictions. During this time someone broke into it, threw the hatch covers overboard and let rainwater get in. They had waded out to it and so took mud onboard, and as such the interior needs a thorough clean down.
The boat comes with aluminium mast and boom and a mainsail, and possibly a jib, but I'm not sure about the jib. The mast has all the staiths and ropes associated with it. The boat also comes with an anchor and chain on a rope.
If you are not into sailing, then the boat would make an excellent fishing boat if an outboard motor is fitted. It has an attached place on the rear for an outboard motor. If you do want it only for a fishing boat, we would welcome keeping the mast to use as a flag pole for the Scouts.
We are open to offers.
All money from the sale of the boat goes to Aotea Sea Scouts, we are hoping to get money to enable us to start replacing our aging kayaks, as these are more useful to the Scouts than the trailer sailor ever was.
For pictures, please follow the link photos.app.goo.gl....
Offers should be made in writing via email to Stephen.Lasham@gmail.com for consideration, or you can email the same email to request an inspection.
