Help us tell the fascinating stories of five Waitakere beaches.
Money is needed to print, market and sell at a reasonable price, Mary (Bobbie) Woodward's unpublished book, 'Waitakere West Coasters'.
Auckland
No one knows Auckland’s wild west coast better than Mary (Bobbie) Woodward. She was Miss New Zealand in 1949 and she is still going strong at 93!.
Bobbie has spent years researching and writing about the colourful lives of the very first Waitakare West Coasters, from Maori to early Pakeha settlers. Photographs that have never been seen in public before are included. Her book is ready to go to print.
Please help get Waitakare’s West Coasters published by donating to the print and distribution costs. This book is a treasure. Let’s make it come alive!.
