This memorial is in fact 'The Tunneller's Memorial' errected with great determination, care and reverence to remember the members of the New Zealand Tunnelling Company who served on the Western Front in WWI, many of them came from the mining industry in Waihi but also from other mines around New Zealand. These tunnellers were involved in many battles on the Western Front and endured much hardship during their service in the Great War and some did not return to NZ. It would have been nice if the HH had named this memorial correctly. Thank You, D. Frost, Thames

Coming from Whanganui I wasn't used to the big smoke. So when my y partner and I moved to Auckland for her career it was quite a shift. Although Auckland has much to offer I could never get used to the traffic jams and the big city living.

Although Auckland has much to offer I could never get used to the traffic jams and the big city living. That is why I'm stoked to be working here in Pukekohe.
I spent much of my 20s moving from job-to-job. I worked as a Defense Force engineer, a bird shooter and a truck driver before completing my Diploma of Journalism at Whitireia polytechnic in 2016.
I met my partner while traveling through Cambodia. During our time together I raved about how beautiful New Zealand. I'm looking forward to getting to know the local communities and tell their stories.
