Im visiting Auckland starting this weekend and wanted to ask the Kiwi members if there was anything in Auckland or North Island such as a military museum that I should see.
I'm attending a work related conference but have a few days spare to do some visits .
There is the Auckland War Memorial Museum which is the Auckland regional museum, Good military displays and generally a excellent museum. The National Army museum Waioru is also well worth a visit, its about four hours south of Auckland.
Perhaps Roger would know if the there is a IMAS or Antique Arms shoot on.
Hope you enjoy your stay
Could you take a post a few photos if possiable?
I'll try :)
Our side of the earth would love to see your side. Have a nice trip!Quote:

sounds a great trip neil , enjoy and do post some photos ,
Make sure you go to the Army museum in Waioru. I went there last July. Nice Trials sniper on display as well as plenty of other worthwhile exhibits.
Try to pop in to Gun City. They have an Auckland Branch. I visited their Christchurch super store. the range of military firearms for sale was eye opening for an Aussie not used to seeing Brens, Stens, Stirlings, Lanchesters for sale.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm now in Auckland and will start planning the fun side of my visits.
And don't forget, if you go to Waiouru, there they've got the weapons we had at Ngaruawahia plus the SA80 rifle and light support weapon and the SAS G3 that I sent them!
