Visitors to Tauranga, New Zealand can
discover the city’s historic gems, thanks to 30 direction signs along the 3km
Tauranga CBD heritage walk from the i-Site in Willow Street.
The
heritage walk was established three years ago, and had only been promoted with
brochures. Now brown signs in the international tourism colour point visitors
in the right direction to 18 points of interest, including leading them to
the old Post
Office, Te Awanui Waka, the old Bond Store, Monmouth Redoubt, Robbins Park and
Elms Mission Station, which is the jewel in the crown of this walk, then the
Mission Cemetery, before returning along Dive Crescent.
The
Rotary Club of Tauranga organised and funded this project which included website
development of www.taurangaheritagewalk.co.nz.
Tauranga
Rotary project coordinator Neil Goodwin hopes that a lot more people will
discover the walk by following the signs or using latest technology on smart
devices.
