- Where did Rongotai Terrace go?
  - 5 Jun 2023
  - Wellington City Libraries
  - With the launch of the newly digitised Ronald Cameron Airport Collection, we take a look back at a version of Rongotai that no longer exists. Ron extensively documented the development of Wellington Airport and the effect it had on the shape of Rongotai, Evans Bay and Lyall Bay in the 1950s. A selection of his photographs are available to view in person at the Kilbirnie Library throughout the month of June.
