I recently attended the unveiling of interpretation signage at the Mission Cemetery. Last weekend I spoke to some visitors who were reading the information panel and they said how much they appreciated learning about the history of Tauranga.

Tauranga is rich with history and signage. This one at the Mission Cemetery is invaluable for locals and visitors.

Battle of Gate Pa 150^th commemorations have begun. To learn more about events planned go to:-
