A joint event between the Papatoetoe Historical Society and the Papatoetoe War Memorial Library.
Bruce Ringer, Team Leader, South Research, Auckland Libraries, explains the origin of a mysterious series of 22 mileposts erected between Auckland and Drury in 1863. These have often been called ‘military mileposts‘ – but were they?
Remnants of 2 mileposts will also be on display.
