Dagwood 57 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Anyone heard of a Pipers Point - possibly around the inner Auckland Harbour? Someone asked for their ashes to be spread here and doesn't seem to be on a chart or Google. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tuffyluffy 76 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 There's a Point Piper in Sydney's inner harbour if there's a chance of confusion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The big T 41 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Bred and sailed in Te Atatu and never heard of it. Also worked in Harbour Board and ARC on water and looking after foreshore areas for nearly 20 years - again never heard of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

erice 732 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 in his yoof did he enjoy the stock cars at nearby waikaraka park? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dagwood 57 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thanks guys, it was a phone call from a member of the public at work so I don't have too much detail other than apparently his stomping ground was around Little Shoal Bay, the Navel base and the ammo storage facilities. Seems a stretch to get to the other side of town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkMT 68 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I wonder if someone like these folks might have some clues... https://www.nzmuseums.co.nz/collections/3208/devonport-historical-and-museum-society-inc http://www.historicbirkenhead.com/ Maybe it's some long forgotten name that was used in the past.
