A history of Awanui
Limited Edition
Sixth reprint
300 Pages with 500 photographs tracing Awanui's development through the generations from the arrival of the first European settler and the establishment of trading stores and the wharves.
As more settlers arrived the town grew with gum digging, shops, hotel, dance halls, billiard saloons, churches, school, picture theatre, dance bands and a tamburica orchestra. The Dairy Company was moved to Awanui becoming a major employer.
This book has much to offer people who wish to learn about Awanui or reminisce the old days.

A collection of photographs taken by the famous Northwood Brothers, Arthur and Richard from 1898-1940.
The "Gumfield's Northern Wairoa to the Far North" is a hard covered book photo book with high quality robust paper that shows life on the gum fields. Never before have so many gum field photos have been published together, (most are full page in size) along showing the areas the early settlers landed.
What is so good about this book as many of the photographs taken by Arthur and Richard were unnamed until now. I have been fortunate to have been assited by some lovely old Dallys who have named many of the faces in the photos. Along with identifying the areas they worked. 500 Names have been identified and it is astounding. The list has been posted on this website.
A treasure trove of family history for generations to come
