The Auckland Star history - 025
The Auckland Star, born 8 January 1870 today celebrates the
century of progress it has shared with the city and province it
serves. Landmarks of city development have included reclamation
works, impressive newbuildings and highways. But one
outstanding structure, the harbour bridge, has become our
symbol - pride of the port, stimulus to tremdous growth on
the North Shore and a vital link for the whole Auckland region.
