Message from Ashley Elliott

Tolaga Bay Wharf, located in Tairāwhiti Gisborne, is a historic gem that dates back to 1929. This iconic structure, one of New Zealand's longest piers, used to be a bustling port for ships bringing in supplies and exporting goods. Today, it's a popular spot for fishing and a beloved local landmark. Standing at 660 meters long, this sturdy concrete wharf has weathered storms and swells for almost a century, showcasing both its engineering prowess and the resilient spirit of the community it once served.
