Onehunga
The logo of Onehunga is a ‘crooked house’, a free rendition of the former Post Office of the suburb (corner Onehunga Mall and Princes Street). Always cheerful with its yellow background.

Location Signs: Muriwai Beach
At the entrance to the village of Muriwai Beach you are greeted by a sign highlighting a major attraction: gannets and terns. At the bottom of the road, where Motutara and Waitea Roads meet, a tiled sign announces that this area is a wildlife refuge.…
Location Signs: Pt Chev Beach

Location Signs: Green Bay
It has to be one of the most understated welcome signs – maybe a bit like Green Bay itself?
“Where the west begins” at the corner of Portage Road and Godley Road.…
Location Signs: Titirangi (Kate Millington, 2014)
Sometime in February I noticed that the welcome sign for Titirangi had “faded” – in fact faded away completely. Earlier this month, I found that a new sign had appeared, picking up on the original design, but in a crisper version.…

The City Daily Photo theme for the month of November is “Heights”.…
Henderson Valley, Opanuku
This sign is found opposite of Juanita Gardens as one leaves Henderson for the open road up the valley and towards Opanuku valley. Nice piece of timber, nice lettering.…
