Train To Auckland ( well , Papakura )

Graeme from Frankton

I recall 3 or 4 months ago , Jamie Strange posting about how Labour ( and Enviroment Waikato I think ) were looking at putting on a daily train to Auckland . Read the smal print , and it was actrually to Papakura . Does anyone else rember it ? Can you remember the cost ? I had a strange idea it was going to take $6 million to fund it for 5 years ? I can't find the original post unfortunately .

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.

A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
