Our 180th edition features 16 diverse stories. We explore the world of education through the eyes of both teachers and students, while John Stackhouse honours a New Zealand soldier who displayed “unexampled courage”. For a touch of glamour, Christopher Moor revisits Frankie Avalon’s promotional tour, and “Lovable Lionel” shares fond memories of driving Miss New Zealand contestants on the show trail. We also follow Ivan Tait’s harrowing 1942 escape attempt from New Britain Island, and continue our mystery series with the intriguing tale of the Kaimanawa Wall.
New Zealand Memories is a unique and absorbing 68-page bi-monthly publication cherishing New Zealand's heritage. Superb photographs are a highlight. Many are supplied by readers and consequently have never before been published, thereby capturing part of our history which may otherwise be lost.
A variety of topics, featuring material and subjects from the 1800s through to the 1979 feature in the magazine where personal stories are a highlight.

Their spirit of adventure, the hardships, joys and sorrows through the good times and downright difficult; each story a link in the shaping of our country.
The high-quality publication, first released in 1995, has won the hearts of thousands of readers and subscribers across the country and is acclaimed as a valuable collectible treasured by families. Libraries, museums and schools recommend New Zealand Memories as an important tool for all ages, not just as a reference source, but also as a trip down memory lane.
