Description

Shows a rail link being built that will provide access for Northlanders to the Auckland market; in the distance the Auckland Skytower shines like a beacon. In the foreground is a Northland train station on the verandah of which stand several men with the goods they want to send to Auckland. A Maori man covered in tattoos holds onto a large bulging sack and smokes a 'cigarette' telling the curious man beside him who is holding a can of oil (from the Marsden Refinery) that it is 'parsley'. ONTRACK and the Northland Regional Council are entering a joint venture arrangement to advance the land designation process and share the costs of land acquisition so that a 16 km line to Marsden Point from a junction with the North Auckland Line 25 km south of Whangarei in Oakleigh could be built that would cost NZ$86.5 million.

Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
