There is one New Zealand town where visitors and residents see their local history every day. Not by visiting a gallery. Not by going to a museum. Just by being in town walking the main street. That town is Katikati, where the stories of their pioneers and their vanished way of life are portrayed by magnificent, finely worked murals on the outside walls of their commercial buildings.

Katikati was founded by settlers from Ulster in Ireland, but the district was populated by Maori long before Europeans arrived. The volcanic soils and sunny climate were as suitable then for kumara as they are today for kiwifruit and avocados.

In recent years, Katikati has called itself the ‘mural town’. You can pick up a mural guide map from the information centre, then stroll the streets to inspect the hand painted works. The local museum documents the growth of the town with photographs and displays of artefacts. In the harvest season, roadside shops and stalls are overflowing with fresh produce.
