While I was attending my family reunion in Browns Bay while we were on holiday in Auckland recently I spotted this mural on a small wall opposite the venue. It was painted by artist Juliana Coelho as part of a community beautification initiative funded by Auckland Council’s graffiti prevention team. Local school students and police staff also helped with the painting.

Thank you for your comments about my issues with blogger. I think independent blog hosting will be the way to go, I will share the new blog address later this week after I get it set up, hopefully I will have alot more success.

Browns Bay beach on Auckland’s North Shore is where I grew up. I spent ALOT of time here at this beach as a child although I don’t remember this war memorial being there back then. 

Known as the “Stone of Remembrance” it was unveiled in Anzac Day 1968 with the stone being dedicated by Rev. M. Walsh on April 25th 1968.
